Steelers Too Much for Browns
The Browns were simply outmatched by the Steelers.
-----------
This game wasn't pretty, especially if you are a fan of Cleveland.
Cleveland's offense struggled mightily and the defense fell apart at the end of the game to cement the Steelers' victory.
The Browns' offense was held to under 200 yards and was a dysmal 2-15 on 3rd down conversion including numerous key failures in the second half. They couldn't get into the endzone and were held to 3 field goals.
It always seemed as if the Steelers always had an answer. After a fieldgoal to make the score 7-3, Mike Wallace returned the kickoff 99 yards to go up eleven.
The Browns made a game out of it though as it was 14-9 before Roethlisberger led Pittsburgh on a long drive to put the game out of reach with four minutes left.

Brady Quinn Benched
Brady Quinn will be replaced by Derek Anderson.
CLEVELAND, OH -- According to sources close to the team, the Cleveland Browns have decided to bench Brady Quinn. Quinn, who has struggled mightily this season is one of the major reasons why the team is struggling as much as they are.
Quinn has thrown 11 interceptions already and only 4 touchdowns. He is only completing 50% of his passes and is averaging a measly 6.5 yards per attempt.
Quinn has thrown three straight multi-interception games and has thrown an interception in every game except for the season opener. He threw 4 interceptions in week two against Denver.
Replacing Quinn will be Derek Anderson. Anderson has started intermittenly for the team until Quinn preformed better in Preseason.
Anderson is well known for his 2007 season in which he threw 29 touchdowns and 3,787 yards.
However, he struggled last year in limited time by throwing 8 interceptions and only 5 touchdowns.
Coach Eric Mangini had this to say about his decision, "Brady [Quinn] is a good young player but I felt he was being detrimental to the team. We have stressed all year that we needed to win the turnover battle. Due to this, we have made a change and DA [Derek Anderson] will start next week against Green Bay. We'll see where we go from there but that is the plan as I feel he gives us the best chance to win."

Preview: Packers At Browns
Sunday, October 25, 1:00 P.M.
Cleveland Browns Stadium
(3-2) @ (2-4)
Coming off a 38-14 beatdown of the Detroit Lions, the Green Bay Packers will travel to Cleveland to face the reeling Browns.
Cleveland has lost two straight and is 2-4. The will be starting a new quarterback and will once again depend on their defense to keep the game close.
Green Bay will look for a good game from their backup quarterback Jeff Garcia as Aaron Rodgers is our for 9 weeks with a broken wrist. Rodgers has thrown 13 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions on the season. Also, he is averaging 279 yards a game. Garcia will need help from Green Bay to win.
That help could come from Greg Jennings who has 436 yards on the season.
Defensively, the Packers are great as the have the 4th best scoring defense.
Early Prediction: Packers win 13-10
Key Injuries
Aaron Rodgers|Broken Wrist|9 Weeks

lets just say Aaron Rodgers isn't playing and then they signed Jeff Garcia and I hurt him in first quarter and he missed the whole first quarter. So they had matt Flynn playingComment

Gutsy decision benching Quinn for Anderson"Baseball is 90% mental, and the other half is physical. -Yogi BerraComment
