"By many metrics, the Patriots dominated the Steelers on Sunday afternoon at Gillette Stadium. New England closed out that Week 3 matchup with the edge over Pittsburgh in multiple offensive categories, including: Total yards: 369-203First Downs: 26-17Time of Possession: 33:20 to 26:40Punts: 1 for New England, 4 for the Steelers"
""Like, offensively, we broke records for yards that game, and then we had the one play - the strip sack - but it wasn't five turnovers. "But that was a game - I walked away feeling like, 'Man, we dominated that game and should have won that game.' It was the highest-scoring Super Bowl for the Patriots, and we lost that game.""
New England amassed 369 total yards, 26 first downs and a 33:20 time of possession advantage in Week 3 but lost 21-14 to Pittsburgh. The Patriots punted once while the Steelers punted four times. New England committed five turnovers, including two inside Pittsburgh's two-yard line, undermining efficient offensive drives. Former center David Andrews likened the loss to the Patriots' Super Bowl LII defeat, noting a similar feeling of dominating but failing to win. Tom Brady's 505-yard Super Bowl performance was cited as context for that earlier high-scoring loss.
