Browns Lose vs. Steelers in Week 17, Become 2nd 0-16 Team in NFL History

The Cleveland Browns lost 28-24 to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh to become the second team in NFL history to finish a season 0-16.

Cleveland joined a dubious club that was previously occupied only by the 2008 Detroit Lions.

The Browns fell to the rival Steelers despite Pittsburgh opting to sit quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and running back Le'Veon Bell in addition to injured wide receiver Antonio Brown.

Cleveland was victimized by rookie wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who finished with nine receptions for 143 yards and one score, as well as a kick return touchdown.
