4:25 p.m. ET - Kickoff**

4:29 p.m. ET - What went wrong: The Steelers received the opening kickoff after the Patriots won the toss and elected to defer. Le'Veon Bell touched the ball on each of the first four plays, but a holding penalty on David DeCastro on the game's third snap set up a second-and-15. On that play, Bell took a handoff and started to run over the left side when a big hole opened up. But Bell tripped without being touched, and his gain was only 7 yards. An incomplete pass on third down, and the Steelers had to punt.

4:38 p.m. ET - What went wrong: It was a third-and-1 for the Patriots at their own 45-yard line on their opening possession. When Tom Brady attempted a quick pass to Danny Amendola just behind the line of scrimmage, T.J. Watt came across quickly and batted it down, but Cam Heyward was offside on the play. With a fresh set of down, Brady his Brandin Cooks on the next play for a 43-yard gain to the Pittsburgh 7-yard line. Two plays Later, Rex Burkhead plunged across the goal line from 1 yard out and the Patriots had a 7-0 lead with nine minutes left in the first quarter.
