4 takeaways from the Browns latest loss in Pittsburgh
"The Cleveland Browns never stood a chance in Pittsburgh against the Steelers. A 30-9 loss is an awful way to go into the bye week, but so it goes with the Browns every year. They may have had more of a chance if not for the play of Pittsburgh’s backup quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. He may be the best backup in the history of the NFL. Once the defense knocked Landry Jones out of the game, it was only a matter of time before the score became insurmountable for Johnny Manziel and the offense. Here are four takeaways from the putrid performance."

From Ray Farmer to Mike Pettine, and all the coaches underneath, here is who is currently sitting on the three hottest seats in Cleveland."
