The Rooneys aren’t the only Irishmen who own the Steelers.
Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. apparently has a stake as well, because he has been at his best against one of the other AFC powers.
The Patriots quarterback is 6-1 in his career against the Steelers, including two victories in AFC Championship games.
In the 2004 loss at Pittsburgh, Brady completed just 58 percent of his passes and threw two interceptions.
In the other six games, he hasn’t completed less than 66.7 percent, and he has thrown 14 touchdowns against one interception.
Brady has been nearly unstoppable in the past four meetings, starting with the 2004 AFC Championship at Heinz Field. He has completed 70.9 percent of his passes with nine touchdowns and one interception in those games.
Basically, Brady has made the Steelers’ pass defense look like the Patriots’ this year. In the past four matchups, Brady’s yards per attempt are 8.79. The Patriots are allowing 8.47 - the worst mark in the league and what would be the 10th-worst in history since 1970.
Bear in mind, Brady has done this while the Steelers have wreaked havoc against the rest of the league’s pass offenses.

|   You would think, eventually someone would try to stop this non-sense.  But then again I think back to how many QBs use to own the Steelers and it seems there always has to be one....but WHY? _________________  60 MIN 53 MEN 1 NATION STEELERS NATION  I am the MAN that created the MYTH that started the LEGEND
