Final result aside, you could copy and paste the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week One gameplan to Sunday afternoon. Eliminate six turnovers, only a pair Sunday, and they beat the Cleveland Browns by two scores.
Offensively, like we wrote yesterday, Randy Fichtner relied on his power run game to control time of possession and wear the Browns’ front seven down.
Keith Butler’s gameplan was nearly the same. A heavy dose of “safe pressure,” bringing four, sometimes five if in base, with an ILB hitting the B gap and the away side OLB dropping out.
