Five Turnovers Doom Patriots in 21-14 Loss to Steelers

Coach Mike Vrabel framed the defeat as a fixable problem tied to ball security.

Tight end Hunter Henry had one of his finest games in a Patriots uniform, making eight grabs for 90 yards and two touchdowns against the Steelers.
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye looks to pass the ball during the first quarter at Gillette Stadium.

Overview

  • New England committed four fumbles and a tipped interception, stalling multiple sustained drives in a one-score game.
  • Rhamondre Stevenson lost two fumbles, including at the goal line, and Antonio Gibson also turned it over.
  • Rookie Drake Maye went 28-for-37 for 268 yards and two touchdowns to Hunter Henry, but he threw a red-zone interception and later lost a fourth-quarter fumble before Pittsburgh’s winning drive.
  • Hunter Henry led the passing game with eight catches for 90 yards and both touchdowns, steadying an otherwise inconsistent offense.
  • Linebacker Robert Spillane delivered 15 tackles and an interception, while Cam Heyward tipped Maye’s pick and forced Stevenson’s goal-line fumble.
