Things looked bleak for awhile to start the game, and Pittsburgh lost another quarterback to injury, but even mistakes and carnage weren’t enough to stop the team from overcoming the hapless Brown by a score of 30-9.
After a Steelers punt, the Browns took over on their own 23-yard line, but looked very Cleveland-like right away. Johnny Manziel dropped back to pass only to have the ball slip out of his hand and right into the waiting arms of Arthur Moats for the fumble recovery. Pittsburgh could only manage a Chris Boswell field goal off the turnover however, and Marcus Gilbert accidentally stepped on Landry Jones’ right ankle on third down, forcing the quarterback out of the game.
