Thursday night games are brutal on the road team.
However, that was only one of the numerous reasons why I had extremely low expectations for the possibility of a Pittsburgh Steelers road victory Thursday night in Cleveland.
Ben Roethlisberger owned the Browns during his 18-year career with the Steelers, but since he has retired. T.J. Watt has destroyed the Browns offensive game plans throughout his career, but he is currently on injured reserve with a pec injury. The Steelers have yet to show they can win a game without him.
The Steelers team that took the field Thursday night was just what the doctor ordered for a Browns team coming off one of the worst losses in recent team history.
