Summary

The Browns didn’t extend the lead by much but dominated the Steelers on both sides of the ball. The offensive line is opening holes for the backs and Shanny’s offense is putting Hoyer in position to play well. The defense is holding the Steelers in check and Big Ben seems to have lost interest in the game. We could see Johnny Manziel in the 4th quarter as the Browns lead late.
