Browns let Steelers off the hook

To paraphrase former NFL coach Dennis Green, the Browns "let them [Steelers] off the hook" today. Leading 21-6 in the second quarter, the Browns seemed poised to move into a first place tie with the Steelers in the AFC North. Truth be told, the Browns dominated the first quarter-and-a-half, as the Steelers appeared to be suffering from a Monday Night hangover. Eventually the Steelers got going and pulled ahead, only to allow a second long-distance return (flashback to PR Eric Metcalf !) to KR Joshua Cribbs. Luckily for the Steelers, Ben Roethlisberger was able to engineer a game winning drive, leaving the Steelers 7-2 and in firm control of the division.

"What are the Chances...?" is now 8-1 this season and 21-4 all-time.
