The Cleveland Browns needed some breaks coming into Sunday’s playoff game after a COVID-19 outbreak stunted their preparation.
They got a huge one off the bat. And then some.
On the very first snap of the game, the Pittsburgh Steelers committed a critical error that led to an early 7-0 Browns lead. The flood gates remained open from there.
Disastrous start a sign of things to come for Steelers
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger lined up in shotgun as the Steelers started on offense from their own 22-yard line. Center Maurkice Pouncey missed his target on the snap and sent the ball sailing over Roethlisberger’s head, bouncing toward the end zone.
