CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If this season is to be the turning point for which Cleveland Browns fans are hoping, what better way to start than beating the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium?
Yes, beating the Steelers means having to beat Ohio kid Ben Roethlisberger, who is 21-2 against the Browns since 2004 when he took over for Tommy Maddox. The same Big Ben who has led the Steelers to six division titles and been to three Super Bowls while the Browns have failed to make the playoffs even once during that time.
Sure, Myles Garrett is hurt, the Browns are starting a rookie quarterback and Cleveland gifted Pittsburgh their best corner, but Big Ben is 35 with a lot of mileage.
