The Steelers went on the road and fell to the Cleveland Browns Thursday night, losing 29-17 in an AFC North divisional matchup. While the offense showed signs of life in the second quarter of this matchup, the unit sputtered out in the second half and put pressure on the defense to once again try and carry the unit to victory against a talented Browns’ rushing attack.
The defense ended up getting gashed on the ground in Cleveland, surrendering 171 yards on 38 carries to the dynamic duo of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. QB Jacoby Brissett was also efficient as a passer, completing 21-of-31 pass attempts for 220 yards and two TDs with zero INTs while taking two sacks.
