After weeks of subpar play, Belichick&#8217;s club finally got off the mat, snapping a five-game losing streak Thursday with a 21-18 win on the road in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran safety Jabrill Peppers said after the win that he&#8217;s happy to get the W for a coach he believes has taken far too much heat for the 3-10 record.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We needed it. I just feel good we could get it done for Bill and the rest of the coaches,&#8221; Peppers said via ESPN. &#8220;I don&#8217;t really like all the flak he&#8217;s been getting, because it&#8217;s on us as players to go out and execute. I personally feel like the game plan has been phenomenal week in and week out, and when we had opportunities to make plays, we didn&#8217;t make them. But we made enough tonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Week 14 NFL picks: Cowboys unanimously chosen to beat Eagles; Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes in duel?            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 14: What We Learned from Patriots&#x27; win over Steelers on Thursday night            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL QB Index, Week 14: Brock Purdy storms into top five; Jake Browning vaults up rankings            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thursday&#8217;s win didn&#8217;t change the trajectory of the Patriots season. They still currently sit with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft &#8212; though it most likely wiped out a chance at the No. 1 slot. It did show there is still some fight in New England under Belichick.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No one has quit in this locker room,&#8221; center David Andrews, per the Associated Press. &#8220;We&#8217;re fighting, we&#8217;re working. We&#8217;re trying to get better. That&#8217;s all you can do. That&#8217;s all you can ask for. It hasn&#8217;t been perfect.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New England started hot, taking the opening kick 75 yards for a touchdown. Bailey Zappe played well in the first half, making some clutch throws, including three TDs, to stake the Pats to a 21-3 lead midway through the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The 21 first-half points were a deluge for a Patriots club that scored 13 total points in its last three games combined. Zappe became the first New England QB with three TDs in the first half of a game since Tom Brady in Week 17, 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The defense, the backbone of the club all season, forced an early Mitch Trubisky interception, stymied the Steelers&#8217; run game, and held on for the win after the offense cooled off in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I thought a really great job by the players and the coaches this week,&#8221; Belichick said. &#8220;Obviously a short week and a tough, disappointing game last week [6-0 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers], but they came in and had a good week of preparation. I thought the guys played with a lot of effort, energy, toughness and resiliency.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The victory doesn&#8217;t cleanse the stink of previous losses or the fact that Belichick&#8217;s future will remain a question heading into 2024. But for at least a week, it provides some reprieve in Foxboro and shows Belichick still has Mike Tomlin&#8217;s number, moving to 10-3 all-time versus the Steelers coach.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/patriots-safety-jabrill-peppers-on-victory-over-steelers-felt-good-to-get-a-win-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Belichick&#8217;s future following the 2023 season has been questioned as the losses mounted in New England.
