The next week, Pittsburgh returned home to face Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. In a spectacular defensive effort, in which Pittsburgh held Brady to a season-low 198 yards passing, the Steelers beat the Patriots 25–17. Then after a disappointing home loss to Baltimore, the Steelers went to Cincinnati and won their first AFC North division battle of the year, 24–17. After a bye, the Steelers came out flat once again in Kansas City, but managed to beat the Chiefs 13–9. They regrouped and routed the Bengals at home 35–7 the following week. The Steelers traveled to Denver at 12–4 to face the 8-8 Broncos, who'd lost their last three games (by a combined score of 88–40). The Broncos behind Tim Tebow raced to a 20-6 halftime lead but despite an interception Ben Roethlisberger led the Steelers to tie the game 23-23 following a Willis McGahee fumble.

On the opening play of overtime the Steelers lined ten men at the line of scrimmage, leaving the field behind them all but uncovered; Tebow lofted a pass caught by Demaryius Thomas and Thomas outran two Steelers defenders for the winning touchdown. 2012: 80th Season and 8–8 Record Prior to the season, Hines Ward was released by the team and he retired shortly afterward. The 80th season in franchise history saw the Steelers miss the playoffs with an 8–8 record, their first non-winning season since 2006, with the team also setting the NFL record for the most games decided on the last play (6). On a positive note, the Steelers recorded their 400th post AFL–NFL merger victory in 2012 after defeating the Washington Redskins. 2013: Emergence of the "Killer B's" The Steelers suffered an 0–4 start, their worst since 1968. However, the season marked the emergence of rookie running back Le'Veon Bell, who broke the franchise record for most scrimmage yards by a rookie set by Franco Harris. Bell, combined with up-and-coming receiver/kick returner Antonio Brown and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, formed the "Killer B's" trio of offensive players that would dominate the AFC North for the next few years. The moniker was derived from the letter "B" in each player's name, in addition to the Steelers' "bumblebee" alternate uniforms. Though Brown and Bell both
