Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns 27-24 in overtime — all without starters (and Pro Bowl-ers) Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell and Maurkice Pouncey.
It was a weird game, but it was the seventh win in a row for Pittsburgh.

Don't be alarmed by the Browns vs Steelers score. The Steelers are basically playing their grounds crew today.

Most Browns thing ever would be to beat Steelers backups and lose the #1 overall pick, right? So bad, yet haven't had #1 overall since '00

RG3 has 2 TD passes and the Browns lead the Steelers 14-0.
2 game winning streak? ?

Funny that some of the browns players are celebrating tackles. You're 1-14 is there really ANYTHING to celebrate? #Steelers

So what we learned is the #Browns are the 33rd worst team in the leauge as now the #Steelers backups have defeated them as well.

It's comforting to know the Browns' starters can at least play the Steelers' reserves to a tie.

The Browns lost to Landry Jones. They shouldn't get the #1 overall pick now.

It is all fun and games until the Browns sign Landry Jones in the offseason.

Steelers are 0-0. New season starts. Everything in the regular season is done and over with. Playoffs are a different breed.
