The Pittsburgh Steelers are denied a touchdown and the New England Patriots intercept in the final seconds to claim a dramatic victory

Wow, what a finish to the game in Pittsburgh!

Click on the video above to watch the thrilling final few plays in the crucial AFC clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots.

Within two plays of the Patriots taking a late 27-24 lead, it appeared Pittsburgh had then themselves gone back ahead, with Ben Roethlisberger seemingly finding tight end Jesse James for a 10-yard touchdown, after a stunning 69-yard catch and run by JuJu Smith-Schuster.

But, the scoring play was overturned on review, with official Tony Corrente saying the ball did not "survive" the completion of the catch, meaning James failed to maintain control of the football as he dived for the endzone.

Without the TD, with the clock running out and no timeouts left, Roethlisberger hurried to the line and tried to find Eli Rogers for the winning TD but instead was picked off by New England safety Duron Harmon to end the game.
