The Steelers play the Cleveland Browns this weekend. But if you wish to be technical, this article is about the Baltimore Ravens.
You see, there have been two NFL teams known as the Cleveland Browns. The current Browns were added as an expansion team in 1999, but the original Browns were a fierce rival to the Steelers until owner Art Modell moved them to Baltimore after the 1995 season, where they exist today as the Ravens.
Steelers fans and Ravens fans today look at each other with a mixture of disgust and respect, and it seems that’s how it was between Pittsburgh fans and Browns fans in the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s.
