Steve Grogan passed for three touchdowns and New England raced to a 24-0 lead before Pittsburgh managed a first down as the Patriots punished the punchless Steelers 34-0 yesterday.
The Patriots' defense scored one touchdown, set up two others with turnovers and constantly pressured Pittsburgh rookie quarterback Bubby Brister as the Steelers suffered their worst loss since they moved into Three Rivers Stadium in 1970.
Grogan threw a 43-yd. touchdown pass to Stephen Starring and Fred Marion scored on a 37-yd. pass interception in a 45-second span as the Patriots opened a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter.
