The one bus trip the Pittsburgh Steelers make every season takes them to Cleveland for a primetime game against a Browns team that is primed to pack it in. Or might be on a short week if it was playing most other teams.
But Steelers-Browns always means something, the rivalry fueled by the teams’ close proximity and fans’ mutual dislike of one another. If the Steelers need a 1,086th reminder of why they can’t take the Browns lightly, they need to look no further than the Baltimore Ravens.
One of the NFL’s top teams accounts for half of Cleveland’s wins this season.
