It was what Keith Butler talked about to the media throughout the week. And it was a message sent to his players leading up to Sunday’s game. Stop the Cleveland Browns’ running game. That’s exactly what the Pittsburgh Steelers did.
The Browns rushed for just 15 yards on 14 carries including only five total yards from their running backs.
“One thing we wanted to establish especially this week was stop the run. We got the lead, kept the lead. giving up 15 yards, one of them was a QB scramble, it’s pretty big,” Cam Heyward told reporters in the locker room after the game.
