I don't know, i am just making an observation. A lot of the reporters that are with the team all the time mentioned that players had said some things and that they all looked tired and run down. During the week before the steelers game BB gave the team Wednesday off while the coaches finished up the gameplan. After that the team was said to look re-energized and 'back to normal'
I'm sure that the primetime games take a lot more out of a player simply due to the added media stuff in addition to the 'undefeated' talk. In addition during primetime games these guys probably don't get much sleep that night. I remember hearing Brady talk saying that even after a primetime game they would be in there working out at 5 or 6 in the morning...after not getting out of there till early morning after the game. He said they pretty much lose a nights sleep when they have a game like that...so after time it catches up with you.
The results speak for themselves though as BB game them some rest, and they played a better team, and beat them handily. Again all of this is just speculation on my part from things that i have heard.
