Steelers make most of losing K Chris Boswell to injury on fake FG in critical win over Browns

In a game with points at a premium, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost kicker Chris Boswell on a bizarre fake field goal against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

His absence loomed large on decisions by both teams throughout the second half and actually benefited the Steelers as they secured a 15-10 win to keep pace in a competitive AFC North.

How Boswell got hurt

With less than two minutes remaining in the first half of a 3-3 game, the Steelers faced fourth-and-9 at the Browns' 10-yard line, a standard situation to kick a field goal.
