It was a familiar sight for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half Thursday night in Cleveland, one that they had just endured four days earlier against the New England Patriots at Acrisure Stadium.
Cleveland ran downhill over and over again, punishing the Steelers’ front seven, milking the clock and essentially salting the game away with a powerful rushing attack featuring star running back Nick Chubb and dependable backup Kareem Hunt. It was a carbon copy of what the Patriots did in Week 2 in the second half with Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson, getting after a tired, short-handed Steelers’ front seven to put the game away.
