Browns’ lead tightens up at 35-23 heading to the 4th quarter

The Browns led by 25 points at the half, but heading into the final quarter of play, their lead is down to just 12 points. Can they hang on to advance in the playoffs? Let’s recap the third quarter:

The Browns got the ball to begin the second half and were able to move the ball to midfield with a couple of first down conversions. Cleveland’s receivers had an illegal formation on one play, which made it 2nd-and-15 and basically ended up stalling the drive. Gillan punted the ball, and the Steelers began their first drive of the second half from the 16 yard line.
