description

With the Patriots already up by a couple scores in the third quarter of this AFC Championship Game matchup between New England and Pittsburgh, running back Corey Dillon took this handoff around the right side and quickly broke through to the second level of the defense. He broke two last-gasp tackle attempts right before crossing the goal line for the 25-yard score, extending the New England second-half lead. Dillon finished with 73 yards and one score in this one, helping the Patriots to a 41-27 win over the Steelers on Jan. 23, 2005.
