Steelers History: Early Origins of the Turnpike Rivalry

The Piitsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns rivalry may have been overtaken by the present competition with the Baltimore Ravens, but I’ve always taken a keen interest in Pittsburgh’s duels with Cleveland.

My first adventure across the Atlantic to see the Steelers in 1993 was to see a win against the New Orleans Saints in Three Rivers Stadium before travelling to the mistake on the lake for an unbelievable loss in Cleveland.

Why unbelievable? The Steelers took a lead in the fourth quarter, only to lose the game when Eric Metcalf returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown.
