Bell runs for 146 yards, Steelers punish Browns 24-9

BROWNS CB Joe Haden had an endzone INT in Week 10 loss (team-leading 3 ), while newly acquired LB Jamie Collins had 9 tackles and his first sack with new team.

In a game they dominated, the Pittsburgh Steelers had 87 yards and a two-point conversion separating them from overtime with the Cleveland Browns.

The Cavaliers won an National Basketball Association championship and the Indians have played in the World Series since the Browns last won a game. “You have to finish games, and we are going to count this thing down”, Jackson said. “It’s as simple as that”. I’m nobody to complain because I don’t run it, but it’s personal for me because I care for those guys.

If the playoffs started today – which, I realize they don’t – the Steelers would have faced six teams now going to the playoffs. Good enough to put some points on the board, but not good enough to get his team a win. He was knocked out of the game in Cincinnati on October 23 with a concussion.

“We are not here to have the record we have”, Jackson said.

NOTES: WR Antonio Brown defended his decision to run out of bounds rather than lateral on the final play last Sunday against Dallas, noting it wasn’t a lateral play and defenders surrounded him.

“I have to play better”, he said. That’s what we chose to do.

“To make winning a reality, that is what you have to do”.

It’s possible the Browns could have Robert Griffin III back at some point. Dupree, who didn’t play in the preseason, was designated to return and began practicing last week. They catch a break this week, however, as they take on the worst team in the NFL.

“I don’t want this group to go backward any more than what we already have”, he said. “Steelers-Browns is always a battle up there on the lake and I’m sure this week will be a battle and we got to be prepared for it and I’m looking forward to it”.

Haley often likes to turn to the no-huddle when the offense is in need of a jump start, though opportunities have been limited at best recently.

Whatever happens for all of Pittsburgh’s coaches over the rest of the season, it’s safe to say that Tomlin and company are on the hot seat in the Steel City. “I just told them, it’s pretty close to home and I play quarterback, I didn’t feel comfortable playing there at quarterback because of all the people I know and people know me. I’m glad he’s on our side”.

The Steelers (5-5) stopped a four-game losing streak.

Pittsburgh got two extra plays after the clock expired before Le’Veon Bell scored on a 1-yard run.

Due their win over the Steelers a few weeks ago, the Ravens will enter Week 12 as the leaders of the AFC North division.

Pittsburgh owns the recent rivalry with Cleveland, winning 22 of the last 25 meetings straight up, including six of the last seven, with five covers over that span. “The line was putting in a lot of time in the film room over the last two weeks, and it showed”. So until they prove me wrong, I have to pick against them.

Steelers: At Colts on Thanksgiving night. They would only be talking about how the Steelers went toe-to-toe with a team that has one of the best records in the National Football League and won.

“For me to get this role now, it’s not under the circumstances I want them to be under but I nearly get the veteran role back and teach my defensive linemen and lead by example”. RT Mike Iupati limped off after hurting his left ankle in the second quarter but returned before halftime. “It’s something that you want to move on from, but at the same time carry with you to learn from”.
