Bailey zapped the Steelers haha. Three TD throws.
Belichick has Mike Tomlin's number in career head to head meetings. Bill's record is 10-3 against Tomlin.
Although the Pats are projected in getting the second overall pick in the next draft, there is no quitting on this team. The players played with a lot of pride.
They played for themselves and for their coach. Good article:

Veteran safety Jabrill Peppers said after the win that he's happy to get the W for a coach he believes has taken far too much heat for the 3-10 record.
"We needed it. I just feel good we could get it done for Bill and the rest of the coaches," Peppers said via ESPN. "I don't really like all the flak he's been getting, because it'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't make them. But we made enough tonight.
"No one has quit in this locker room," center David Andrews, per the Associated Press. "We're fighting, we're working. We're trying to get better. That's all you can do. That's all you can ask for. It hasn't been perfect."
Pats' defence played well. They have been the backbone of the team throughout this season. -forced an interception from Trubisky.
The defence stymied the Steelers' running game.
