CLEVELAND -- Midway through the second quarter of Thursday night’s 21-7 loss to the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster was face-down on the field at FirstEnergy Stadium.
A quarter later, a similar scene unfolded again.
The Steelers lost three of their top playmakers in all -- Smith-Schuster (concussion), Diontae Johnson (concussion) and James Conner (shoulder) -- as the Steelers four-game winning streak ended and their playoff chances dropped significantly.
The game ended in melee when Browns defensive end Myles Garrett ripped Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph's helmet off after a play near the end zone.
