What the f*ckity f*ck?? Wow, they really are idiots over there.
Steelers 'surprised' and 'caught off guard' by Patriots offense
“The first drive hit us by surprise,” Dupree said. “They came out firing and they caught us off guard. We were checking and they were checking at the same time. Hats off to that team. They had a great preparation.”

Dupree said the Steelers had prepared for the Patriots to operate out of the no huddle, but they were taken aback by the frequency with which Brady ran it.
“We didn’t really anticipate it like that,” Dupree said. “It was more in their approach to the no huddle, the checks they made right away. It was a great job by Tom Brady.”
Burns said the Steelers were not expecting Patriots receiver Chris Hogan to be the main offensive weapon for Brady.
“We knew he was one of the guys who could stretch you,” Burns said. “That’s why we played a lot of zone, to keep the top on the coverage. He was able to slip behind it. That’s why he had the game he had by slipping behind our deep coverage to make plays.”
