A short week after a very difficult, physical matchup last Sunday led to a rather sloppy, ugly showing for the Pittsburgh Steelers Thursday night on the road against the Cleveland Browns, resulting in a tough 24-19 loss.
The game gave us everything from the Steelers, from the slow start and sloppy execution pre- and post-snap to poor clock management and baffling personnel decisions, not to mention a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback that the defense ultimately couldn’t make stand.
It’s a tough loss, but it’s not a killer one. The Steelers now head into a mini bye week with a chance to regroup, rest up and prepare for a tough matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14.
