New England Patriots

PITTSBURGH -- Trailing 17-3 late in the second quarter, the Steelers still had time to narrow the Patriots lead before the break and get back to playing the game on their terms.
After a Duce Staley run for 4 yards to the Patriots 19, Pittsburgh had second-and-6.
Rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger looked out to his right, eyeballing tight end Jermaine Tuman and that gave safety Rodney Harrison his opening.
Stepping in front of Tuman, Harrison easily picked it off and returned the pick 87 yards untouched. He was able to walk the final 5 yards to the end zone to make it 24-3, New England.
