Looks like they both won one. By my math that makes them tied. You make it sounded like the Pats beat them 10 times before the Steelers won by saying "3 years". They played 2 games in 3 years. 3 including the 2002 playoffs, but you said regular season.

I said to finally get a Regular Season win.
They got their butt kicked at home in the AFC championship in 2001.
They we're all talking about the superbowl and their plans and then lost at home, so they talked all offseason about how they were the better team and that was their superbowl and got their butt kicked in the home opener.
As I said, if the Steelers didn't have Bettis and Duce and lost by a close score, I'd have said the same thing about the Pats win, that it was a good win, but it the Pats probably would have lost if the Steelers had a running game.
Not to mention the other key injuries, Ty Law - AlPro Corner etc... etc... but the Running game was the most important.
Belichek gets a free pass, 2 superbowl wins in 3 years, but he should have kept Cloud, he should have kept a backup for Dillon... Faulk is a good 3rd down back, but not an every down back.
