This has become a bit of a trivia question at this point, but did you know that prior to the final eight seconds of Thursday night’s event, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns actually played a football game? And that the Steelers lost, putting their postseason hopes in jeopardy just after they had put themselves in that conversation for the first time all year?
What happened in those waning seconds, culminating in Browns defensive end Myles Garrett assaulting quarterback Mason Rudolph with his own helmet, has overshadowed the fact that there was an actual game with an actual result that actually puts the Steelers’ season in jeopardy.
