An emotional win. And it came with a lot of weird.
– The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is up to 52 sacks this season. They now have five straight seasons of 50+ sacks, tying an NFL record.
– Their nine sacks against the Browns tonight are the most they’ve ever had against them. It’s the most they’ve had in a game since they recorded ten against Tampa Bay in 2001.
That was, by the way, Mike Tomlin’s first year with the Bucs.
– Ben Roethlisberger had just 123 yards passing on 46 attempts. It’s the fewest yards on 45+ attempts in NFL history and it’s not even that close.
