Steelers taking 'nothing positive' from loss to Patriots
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers honored some of their former players Sunday, but it was a current one whose appearance would have soothed them best after the Steelers' 27-16 loss to the New England Patriots.Out of the locker room walked -- not hobbled, not limped -- Ben Roethlisberger, and as he strolled down the tunnel on the cleaned up meniscus in his left knee, he symbolized the hope that the Steelers would be fit to play the Patriots again in January.Roethlisberger wants to play against the Baltimore Ravens in two weeks when the Steelers return from their bye.

Gerry Dulac's report card: Patriots 27, Steelers 16
Quarterback BLandry Jones played very well, at least better than anyone could have expected, as a replacement for Ben Roethlisberger.He completed 29 of 47 attempts for 281 yards.He was especially efficient in the first half when he completed 14 of 20 passes for 179 yards and had a touchdown negated by a Chris Hubbard holding penalty.

PITTSBURGH — In the end the margin of victory in the Patriots' 27-16 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday was not 11 points.It was one torn meniscus.Minus that frayed piece of Ben Roethlisberger's knee, the Patriots might well have not survived the way they played yesterday at Heinz Field.

Ron Cook: Loss to uncharacteristically sloppy Patriots might do more harm to Steelers in playoffs
Ron Cook: Loss to uncharacteristically sloppy Patriots might do more harm to Steelers in playoffs
This loss could hurt at playoff time.It will hurt if the Steelers have to go to New England to play the Patriots in January because of tiebreakers.It really will hurt if it costs them a division title and a home postseason game or — worse — a playoff spot, period.
