Even though missing the playoffs leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth following a rather trying 2022 season for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the way the young members of the black and gold closed the season out should have everyone feeling rather optimistic overall moving forward.
The optimism should be relatively high following a 28-14 win over the Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium Sunday to close out the season, a game in which the Steelers ran the football very well overall against Cleveland, hit some big plays in the passing game and really got after Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, sacking him seven times and picking him off twice in the win.
