Last season marked the 15th anniversary of the opening of Heinz Field. While difficult to believe, the once brand new, state of the art football stadium is now half as old as Three Rivers Stadium was when it was imploded in 2001.
As with Three Rivers Stadium, Heinz Field has also been the site of some of the greatest games in Steelers (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/pittsburgh-steelers) history. As the organization embarks on its next fifteen years at Heinz Field, here's a look back at some of the most memorable Steelers victories during the stadium's first fifteen years.
Here's my top ten list:
10. 2004: Steelers 34 Patriots (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/new-england-patriots) 20
The Steelers were in the midst of a 15-1 regular season. At the midway point, they met the hated Patriots. The Steelers thumped them (a rare occurrence these last fifteen years) and, in the process, ended the Patriots 21 game winning streak (http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=241031023). Deshea Townsend (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1639/deshea-townsend) returned a Tom Brady (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1653/tom-brady) interception 39 yards for a touchdown, and rookie Ben Roethlisberger (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1630/ben-roethlisberger) connected with Plaxico Burress (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/2208/plaxico-burress) on a 47 yard touchdown bomb.
9. 2007: Steelers 3 Dolphins (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/miami-dolphins) 0........... Read more @ http://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/pittsburgh-steelers-nfl-features-news-blog-long-form/2016/6/4/11852438/pittsburgh-steelers-retrospect-the-most-memorable-victories-at-heinz
