The Steelers have many of their own to blame for the come-from-ahead 21-21 tie with the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday.
There were those five turnovers by Ben Roethlisberger that might not have led to any points for Cleveland (you read that right), but certainly prevented Pittsburgh from scoring enough points not to tie. There was that untimely fumble by running back James Conner midway through the fourth quarter that proved to be the catalyst for Cleveland’s unlikely comeback. There were also 116 penalty yards that either helped to thwart one too many Pittsburgh drives or buoyed one too many Cleveland drives.
