Steelers’ Stevan Ridley Acknowledges Beating Patriots Was An ‘Awesome Feeling’

Ridley, now with the Pittsburgh Steelers, expressed a desire to beat the Patriots on Sunday in part because of the way his tenure in New England ended, with the Patriots electing not to bring him back less than a year after he tore his ACL.
Appropriately, the Patriots played like trash Sunday, and it resulted in them suffering their second straight loss, a 17-10 defeat at the hands of the Steelers.
Following the game, Ridley acknowledged that he took the win personally.
“Absolutely.
It’s been a long grind back, but it paid off,” Ridley said, via WEEI.com.
“It was great.
It was an awesome feeling.” Ridley — who rushed for 16 yards on three carries — also noted that no one from the Patriots had reached out to him after he made his comments about how things ended there.
For the 29-year-old, that didn’t come as much of a shock.
“No, it’s always quiet,” Ridley said, via WEEI.com.
