Having just played the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in an “old-fashioned bar brawl” that left both the Ravens and the Pittsburgh Steelers bruised and battered, it seemed almost criminal to have the Steelers turn around in four days and play in yet another old-school AFC North matchup, this time against the Cleveland Browns on the road on Thursday Night Football.
For many, the game went as expected. It was sloppy, some coaching decisions were amplified, and the Steelers dropped another tough road game on Thursday Night Football within the division.
The 24-19 loss to the Browns has many questioning the 8-3 Steelers moving forward, but for former Steelers safety and current ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, what should be looked at is the toll of playing the Ravens throughout the years, and how the Steelers perform after those games.
