The Pittsburgh Steelers wrapped up their 2017 regular season with a remarkable 13-3 record. This was following an unremarkable performance as they barely eked out a 28-24 victory against the victory-less Cleveland Browns.
This wasn’t a particularly unsurprising result with the Steelers sitting out their stars, including most notably Ben Roethlisberger. They also had unanimous All-Pro Antonio Brown still on the mend and idled as well.
Still, with the exception of opting to rest Cameron Heyward, the Steelers were full throttle on defense, and mostly without excuse for their sputtering performance against a very poor Browns offense.
