NFL Week 14 Game Recap: New England Patriots 21, Pittsburgh Steelers 18 | NFL News, Rankings and Statistics | PFF
Fans in Foxboro breathed a sigh of relief on Thursday night, as the New England Patriots looked like a very different outfit from the one that put up just 13 points over their previous three games.
Quarterback Bailey Zappe finished 19-of-28 for 240 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, leading his team to a 21-18 victory over the Kenny Pickett-less Pittsburgh Steelers to snap New England’s five-game losing streak.
The Patriots improve to 3-10 and finally seem to be set at the quarterback position (at least for now). The Steelers drop to 7-6 and into the bubble of the AFC playoff picture.
Offensive spotlight: Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe acquitted himself well, recording an 80.8% adjusted completion percentage and averaging 8.6 yards per pass attempt on Thursday night.
His one turnover-worthy play ended up getting picked off — at a pivotal point in the game, too — but he also produced two big-time throws.
Defensive spotlight: T.J. Watt won’t stand out on the stat sheet for this one. In fact, he managed just two pressures across 24 pass-rush snaps, according to PFF’s first-run analysis. However, he won six other pass-rush snaps that didn’t result in pressure because of how quickly Zappe got the ball out.
Rookie spotlight: Joey Porter Jr. has performed admirably since earning the full-time starting role at outside cornerback for the Steelers. He was targeted four times tonight, and while he allowed two catches for 28 yards and two first downs, he also forced incompletions on the other two passes.

The Pittsburgh Penguins and CGI, a global IT and business consulting services firm with a strong presence in Pittsburgh, have announced their third annual Tech Academy for Pittsburgh Area students.
The Pittsburgh Penguins Tech Academy Powered by CGI will provide an opportunity for up to 100 students to participate in an immersive “in-the-field” experience at PPG Paints Arena, while they learn from leaders in sports and business technology.
The Pittsburgh Penguins Tech Academy will take place on January 30 from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM at PPG Paints Arena. Selected students in the program will be guided through a series of sessions as they learn about the technology the Penguins use in analytics and research, in-game entertainment, mobile ticketing, CRM, sports and exercise science and more.
Following the Tech Academy, students will have the opportunity to submit a team project for a chance to win technology services and updates for their school, a VIP Penguins experience and the opportunity to present their project in front of an audience of technology and business executives. Students will go through a mentoring period with CGI leaders to learn how to initiate, develop and execute their projects.
For the third-consecutive year, CGI leaders will be coupled with Penguins personnel as they act as judges to select students to participate, interact and mentor students throughout the program and judge the projects at the conclusion of the program.
“I can’t wait to see what comes next. This program demonstrates why CGI believes in making a difference to underrepresented students in STEM in the areas which we work and live,” said Deb Mohapatra, Senior Vice President Consulting Services, CGI Pittsburgh Banking Sector.
Applications are open to all students in grades 9-12 in Pittsburgh’s surrounding counties (Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Washington, and Westmoreland). Eligible students interested in applying can complete an application here through December 19.
