Although the Steelers-Browns rivalry was once known as one of the very best in the NFL, it would be fair to say that much of the luster has worn off because of the one-sided dominance of the black and gold. In fact, since 1999, the Steelers have won 27 of the past 32 games and have a 13-1 record at Heinz Field against the Browns. Cleveland has not done much this season to make anyone believe that dominance will end when the two clash this Sunday. The Browns are 2-7 and have lost four ... Read More
