Patriots End Losing Streak with 21-18 Win Over Steelers

Bailey Zappe's Three Touchdown Passes Propel Patriots to Victory, Damaging Steelers' Playoff Hopes

The New England Patriots secured a 21-18 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, ending a five-game losing streak and damaging Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes.
Bailey Zappe, the Patriots' quarterback, threw three touchdown passes, contributing significantly to the victory.
The Patriots' defense managed to get the necessary stops, while their offense gained momentum, reaching the end zone three times for the first time since October.
The Steelers' loss to a two-win team at home for the second time in five days has dropped them out of the top spot in the AFC wildcard race.
Despite the win, the future of Patriots' coach Bill Belichick remains uncertain, with the team experiencing its worst season in nearly a quarter century.
