Baker Mayfield, Browns Beat Roethlisberger, Steelers; 1st Playoff Win Since 1995

No practice makes perfect?

The Cleveland Browns dealt with an outbreak of COVID-19 within the organization in the week leading up to their first playoff appearance in 18 years and weren't able to practice until Friday. They held a walk-through Saturday before flying to Pittsburgh.

But it worked out, as the Browns used a monster first quarter to upend the Pittsburgh Steelers, 48-37, and advance to to the divisional round next weekend.

The Steelers, who lost five of their last six after starting the season 11-0, started to mount a comeback in the third quarter, but couldn't catch up to the high-flying Browns.
