Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers: TV Schedule, Radio, Live Stream
By Thomas Moore
The Cleveland Browns will host the Pittsburgh Steelers today in the season finale. Here is how to watch or listen to the game.
The Cleveland Browns close out the 2015 NFL season today when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Austin Davis will be getting the start at quarterback, making it the fourth consecutive year, and fifth in the past six, the Browns will trot out a player who was their third-string quarterback for the season finale.
Head coach Mike Pettine may also be making his final appearance as the Browns coach. If so, Pettine will join Romeo Crennel, Eric Mangini, Pat Shurmur and Rob Chudzinski as coaches who were asked to leave after facing the Steelers in the season finale.
It’s quite the way to run an NFL franchise.
One reason to watch will be to see if tight end Gary Barnidge and wide receiver Travis Benjamin can surpass 1,000 receiving yards on the season. Barnidge is only 23 yards away, while Benjamin needs 87 yards. (Ironically, that is the same number of yards Benjamin has totaled the past three games with “franchise quarterback” Johnny Manziel running the offense.)
If Barnidge and Benjamin hit the 1,000-yard make, it will be the first time the Browns have had two players with more than 1,000 receiving yards in the same season since 2007, and they will join just nine other receivers to break the mark in franchise history.
