CLEVELAND -- The Steelers fell to 1-2 Thursday night, losing to the Browns by a score of 29-17.
A significant contributor to the loss was the defense's inability to not only rush Jacoby Brissett, but his 220 passing yards complemented a strong running game that produced 171 yards. To make matters worse for a secondary that had a rough night, one of their starting cornerbacks left the game and did not return.
Ahkello Witherspoon left the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury, and was later ruled out by the team.
