PITTSBURGH -- Several Pittsburgh Steelers made strong statements as they arrived at Heinz Field for the rematch with the Browns.
A group of players, including captain Cam Heyward, showed up wearing black "Free Pouncey" sweatshirts. Some wore the hoods of the sweatshirts up and masks covering their faces, concealing their identity. One player, wearing a black mask, arrived wearing a Pouncey jersey.

Center Maurkice Pouncey was suspended for three games -- appealed down to two -- for his role in the fight between quarterback Mason Rudolph and defensive end Myles Garrett in the first meeting between the two teams less than three weeks ago.
