THE AFC NORTH-leading Pittsburgh Steelers claimed a huge 17-10 NFL win over the slumping New England Patriots as rookie Jaylen Samuels starred on Sunday.
Pittsburgh (8-5-1) barely held the lead in the AFC North prior to the weekend’s fixture but a seven-point victory against the Patriots ensured they stayed ahead of the Baltimore Ravens.
Back-to-back defeats for the Patriots (9-5) saw last season’s Super Bowl runners-up cede control of the AFC’s second seed and the first-round bye to the Houston Texans.
Samuels stole the show, rushing for 142 yards on 19 carries in the absence of James Conner. While he did not score, he also recorded two receptions for 30 yards and helped Pittsburgh move the chains in critical moments.

Great game City keeper had a blinder!!! 1300 for an U19 game on a Wednesday night and there were 400 at Richmond Park for Pats v City on Monday…laughable
Be interesting to see what the attendance would have been if the Liverpool Man U game was on tonight instead of Monday.
True but even tonight City v Barcelona on tonight too
Very few irish ppl support Man City compared to Utd and Lpool. Just goes to show that irish ppl are event junkies. We love special occasions like these or going over to england to see a game, but when it comes to the average humdrum LOI fixture ppl are less enthusiastic.
City Barcelona is no comparison to Liverpool United for the Irish football fan
Are you saying there are more Irish fans supporting Man City and Barca than Man Utd and Liverpool??
U19 and U17 leagues were a fantastic idea well done cork
Great support. Well done Cork.
Is there a group stage or is it just a continous 2 leg knockout?? Btw fair play to cork
They play Roma in a 2 leg play-off and the winner goes to the group stage
Ah sound. Hope they get through
The winners of the next leg play the runners up of the Champions league groups, then the winners of that game play the winners of the champions league groups.
Well done Cork.
No Kenny Browne in sight Darren you’d have been delighted
Yes….. You have a lot of decent footballers there. No room for chubby checkers anywhere! Posh boy….you weren’t the lad on about goal difference between Dundalk and Cork defences were you yesterday? Less said about the MASSIVE +3 goals between teams the better.
@Darren Sheils: No it wasn’t me anyway haha
Great stuff from City.I’ll have to book the holiday to Rome.
That’s a tight net. Well done CCFC
Great support and an unbelievable result! Fair play Cork, they’ll continue to be a top side with this young talent coming through!
