Gronk scores first touchdown of the 2015 season wp.me/p14QSB-9QFO

by ProFootballTalk via twitter 9/11/2015 1:30:01 AM
Hmm....not covering Gronk. It's a bold strategy that didn't quite pay off. #kickoff http://pbs.twimg.com/media/COleEo2W8AACCpr.jpg

Josh Scobee from 46...NO GOOD.

7-0 @Patriots lead. #Kickoff2015 #PITvsNE

by NFL via twitter 9/11/2015 1:30:03 AM
Scobee is wide right on a 46-yard field goal and the score remains 7-0 #Patriots w/ 8:38 remaining in the half. #PITvsNE

by New England Patriots via twitter 9/11/2015 1:30:05 AM
Scobee misses a 46-YD FG attempt and the Steelers are still looking for their first points of the season #NFLKickoff

Antonio Brown now has at least 5 catches for 50 yards in 33 straight games. Next closest WR is Odell Beckham Jr. with 9.

Sometimes on 3rd and 6 you need to just throw it to Antonio Brown for a 37-yard gain. #Kickoff2015 #PITvsNE snpy.tv/1KHQBqW
