Pittsburgh Pounds Cleveland Again – Win 12th Straight Over Browns with 27-14 Victory
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin makes no bones about the fact the Steelers have to get better, but Sunday at home against their “rivals” from Cleveland, the team that hoisted the Lombardi trophy a season ago sure looked like they were making strides, stopping Cleveland 27-14.
