Defensive Touchdowns Lead Steelers To 26-22 Win Over Browns

The Pittsburgh Steelers got back on track on Monday Night Football, beating the Cleveland Browns 26-22 in Week Two thanks to two defensive touchdowns.

The Steelers won the coin toss and chose to defer, so Cleveland opened up the game with possession. K Chris Boswell’s opening kickoff was a touchback, and the Browns started at their own 25. On the first play, a pass intended for TE Harrison Bryant by QB Deshaun Watson was dropped and popped up into the air, intercepted by OLB Alex Highsmith off a tip by S Minkah Fitzpatrick. Highsmith returned the interception for a touchdown and the Steelers took a 7-0 lead on the first play from scrimmage.
