For all the talk leading up to Sunday’s Browns-Steelers matchup at Heinz Field being a chance for the Browns to assert themselves as the real deal in the AFC North and the NFL overall, it was the Steelers who asserted themselves – again – as big brother in the long-standing rivalry.
Pittsburgh laid body blow after body blow throughout the game Sunday, knocking Baker Mayfield out of the game and welcoming tight end Austin Hooper to AFC North football at least three times.
On top of all that, the Steelers turned in their second best tackling performance on the young season.
