Looking to extend their winning streak to 6 games, the Pittsburgh Steelers came out incredibly flat on the road Thursday night and dropped a disheartening 21-7 decision to the host Cleveland Browns.
While the loss stung, the overall impact of the game was more than just a mark in the loss column as Mason Rudolph regressed in a big, big way, while JuJu Smith-Schuster, Diontae Johnson, and James Conner all exited with injuries offensively, leaving the Steelers perilously thin at the skill positions.
Defensively, the Steelers weren’t able to carry the load this week, failing to force a turnover for the first time in weeks.
