In spite of a slow start offensively and no George Pickens, the Pittsburgh Steelers are now 10-3 and hold a commanding two-game lead over the Baltimore Ravens for the AFC North lead after a 27-14 win over the Cleveland Browns.
The Steelers sleepwalked through the first quarter. The offense did nothing with the opening drive despite getting into first-and-five after an offside penalty on Cleveland on the first play of the game. They then forced the Browns to punt from their own end zone and were gifted great field position in Browns territory, but the drive ended like far too many of the Steelers’ drives in the red zone this season - with a field goal.
