Steelers

Roethlisberger vs. Brady isn’t the mismatch you might think

The refrain that Tom Brady always beats the Steelers is one that we've heard over and again.

After all, Brady is 10-2 against them and has knocked them off in the AFC Championship Game three times, though his 2002 win should include an asterisk since he left with an injury and Drew Bledsoe actually completed the win.

To that point, it's true. Brady, the Patriots' five-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback has been a foil for the Steelers for quite some time. His 25-9 record in the postseason is something that might never be matched, and his 193-55 record as a starting quarterback, a winning percentage of .779, is the best in NFL history.

Adding a loss to that total will be something the Steelers (11-2) attempt when they host the Patriots (10-3) at Heinz Field in a rematch of last season's AFC Championship.
