Tom Brady passed for 294 yards and three touchdowns to lead New England to a 30-to-14 win.

Brady simply picked apart the vaunted Steelers defensive secondary and receivers ran brilliantly after making the catch. The Pittsburgh offense made five turn overs. Jerome Bettis, who rarely turns the ball over, would spoil a Steelers drive with a fumble. It was the first fumble by Bettis in 760 carries.

Reeve can reportedly move the fingers on his left hand and the toes on both feet.
