Nothing like a good, old-fashioned, smash-mouth victory over their arch-rival Steelers for the Browns to feel like all is right with the world again.
Four days after one of the worst meltdowns in NFL history vs. the Jets — and the worst one for the the franchise in 21 years — the Browns returned to FirstEnergy Stadium and beat the Steelers, 29-17, Thursday night holding them to three points in the second half and surviving another frenzied finish.
There were no huge blown coverages, no embarrassing communication errors and an aggressive defense that smothered Cleveland native Mitch Trubisky and the Steelers offense down the stretch. “That’s just a great team win,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said after the game. “I’m really proud of those guys for fighting -- short week, with last Sunday, first to battle to make it to this game and to fight for 60 minutes to get a W in front of our fans, who were outstanding.”
The Steelers had a chance to go up 3-0 in the first quarter after safety Miles Killebrew got his hand on a Corey Bojorquez 25-yard punt to start near midfield. But the big-legged Chris Boswell pushed the 50-yard attempt wide right at the closed end of the stadium. It was only the sixth miss from 50-plus in his eight-year career.
