In yet another clear example of being a second-half team, the Pittsburgh Steelers shook off a poor start Sunday against the Cleveland Browns and cruised to a 27-14 win at Acrisure Stadium to improve to 10-3 on the season.
Without standout receiver George Pickens due to a hamstring injury, the Steelers’ offense was slow to get into gear while the Steelers’ defense got off to a slow start as well. But thanks to two missed field goals by Cleveland and a strong second half on both sides of the football, Pittsburgh was able to race out to a 27-7 lead in the third quarter, eventually putting the game away to end the Browns’ miniscule chances at the playoffs.
