Despite facing Pittsburgh's backups, Cleveland fell shy of their first victory of the season, losing 28-24 to complete the season of perfection, joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only [0-16] winless team in NFL history.
The Pittsburgh Steelers got the ball first, and despite not having Ben Roethlisberger, Le’Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, Maurkice Pouncey, or David DeCastro on offense, Pittsburgh marched right down the field for an opening-drive touchdown. The drive was capped by a 29-yard end around by WR Darius Heyward-Bey that saw him break several tackles for the score.
