Thursday night football is always good news/bad news for NFL players. It allows a long break until the next game, but is a very short week since last Sunday.
The Browns-Steelers game had playoff and divisional race implications, although the percentage was greater for Pittsburgh and abysmal for Cleveland’s hopes. But still, both teams were in the hunt. The Steelers came into this game on a four-game winning streak while the Browns were 1-4 in their last five games with their first home victory. Could they win two in a row in front of the orange faithful?
All night long, the Browns controlled their division foe yet could not capitalize on numerous drives but still won 21-7 and upped their record to 4-6-0.
