The New England Patriots proceeded the Bengals MNF overtime win by ending their five-game losing streak with an upset over the now 7-6 Pittsburgh Steelers in the week 14 Thursday Night Football game for has been a wild 2023-2024 NFL Season.






Early game mistakes from The Steelers allowed New England to gain a lead with an opening drive touchdown. Patriots held onto the lead for a remainder of the game. This is now three of Pittsburgh's last four games resulting in losses which is a shocker considering their early season playoff hopes. Both teams were essentially tossing the other alley oops for the win in the fourth quarter with poor decisions from Bill Belichick and Mike Tomlin.


This win puts New England at 3-10 for the season with Bailey Zappe tossing three touchdown passes in the first half in replacement of Mac Jones. Those three touchdowns proved to be enough to secure the win.


Joe Mixon's two touchdowns in the first half kept the game competitive paired with a stellar outing from the Bengals defense down the stretch forced the game into overtime. An outstanding performance by Jake Browning that saw him complete 32 of 37 passes for 354 yards to go with a touchdown.


Trevor Lawrence in his own right put forth an impressive game with 258 yards and 2 touchdowns before exiting the game late with a high ankle sprain. This now puts the Bengals at 6-6 trailing the Steelers by a game and a half.
