Patriots kings of the AFC again

Nobody beats Brady and Belichick in a big game, not even Big Ben.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick were an unstoppable combination again for the New England Patriots, exposing all of the Steelers' weaknesses to end their 15-game winning streak and win the AFC Championship 41-27.

Brady gave the inexperienced Ben Roethlisberger a lesson in quarterbacking a championship game, throwing two touchdown passes, while the rookie threw three interceptions, including one that was returned 87 yards for a touchdown by Rodney Harrison.
