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.
