Deshaun Watson was hoping for a happy ending Monday night, but it wasn’t meant to be as the Steelers’ defense stood tall when it mattered and sent the Browns back to the Dawg Pound with their tails between their legs. Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt scored defensive touchdowns while Kenny Pickett and the offense sputtered like a 1976 AMC Hornet that was running out of gas. The fans at Acrisure Stadium acted anything but “fat, sassy and spoiled” as they shouted for offensive coordinator Matt Canada to face the unemployment guillotine.
Nevertheless, the hometown favorites escaped with a much-needed win and the season marches on.
