If there was ever a time I hated the Browns… it is now. In the Steelers first matchup, there was a lot to hate from start to finish.
Whether it was headhunting, an intriguing sense of arrogance, or the final seconds to post-game drama, the Browns and Pittsburgh are filled with hate this week. This isn’t healthy hate, either.
Compared to the Steelers-Ravens rivalry, a rival on respect and consistent competition, the Steelers-Browns rivalry doesn’t come close to this. The Browns are the lowest on the AFC North food chain.
Pittsburgh has dominated the current rivalry since the Brown’s return to the NFL in 1999.
