interesting steeler defensive stat

On Monday night the Buccaneers had only 5 rushing attempts the whole game. The Patriots only rushed 6 times against the Steelers in 2004. Just thought it was an interesting stat.

New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Oct. 31, 2004: The Patriots had to abandon the run early in this game after falling behind 24-3 in the first half. Brady ended up throwing 43 passes in a game where the Patriots rushed just six times for five yards. The Patriots were 6-0 going into this game, but fell to 6-1 after losing to the Steelers. The Patriots' leading rusher was Kevin Faulk, who had five carries for 4 yards. Final score: Steelers 34-20 over Patriots.

 

I think that was the year the Patriots and Eagles came into da Burgh undefeated and we gave both of them their first loss of season. I think their were fans with signs saying, "you're welcome Miami."

Just strange seeing that we had the Brady led Patriots down 24-3.

 

we beat them 34-20. I'm a fount of useless info

 

Here's another one you can store away Roller - Steelers just won back to back road games where they trailed by more than 10 points at halftime for the first time since...................1953. There's a good chance though that the Steelers were behind by more than 10 points in every game that year.

 

That is a great stat! Thanks

 

I saw that stat at the end of the game. There was a kneel down there at the end by the Bucs back up and that counted as a rush attempt, so they actually only had 4 real carries!

 

I am addicted to obscure stats like this. It is amazing the things you can find like this

 

My favorite defensive stat this year is that the Defense has given up fewer points than the team scored in every contest so far.

 

That’s a pretty good stat lol

 

The best

 

Plax/BigBen combo was killing them

 

Here's a stat that I really like which will never ever be duplicated. The final 9 games of the 1976 regular season saw the Steelers give up a total of 28 points while putting goose eggs up on the board for 5 of those contests. Three other of those 9 games they only allowed 4 total FG's. Those final 9 games the Steelers outscored the competition 234-28.

 

That’s ridiculous, now it’s 28 points in 1 game lol
