HR 1: Browns 27, Steelers 24 Week 4 Game Recap

Tied at 24, a minute and 42 seconds left, and all the momentum in the world.

Then the biggest moment of the night, the Steelers defense disappeared again.

Cleveland marched 36 yards in seven plays, setting up that, what you just heard, 56-yard field goal with just 10 seconds left.

And Double B, another Thursday night loss, and now at two and two, the Steelers have some questions that need answers.

But the good news is they now have 10 days to figure all of this out.

I don't even want to know the updated records and statistics now, whether it's Thursday nights or in Cleveland, [clears throat] a divisional road game Thursday nights.

It's miserable, Ed.

[laughs]

I mean, it's-- I just said it, uh, earlier today, stepped in for a segment on The Blitz with our guys Tom Offerman and Vince Williams.

Like, something in the air there in Cleveland, I don't know if it's in the water in the lake, but it seems to just rise up out of Lake Erie like a, like a lake monster when it gets tight between these two teams, and suddenly the, the curse, the hex, the jinx, it just puts the ball in the hands of the guys wearing brown somehow, some way, and it's, uh, it's frustrating.

It's disappointing.

It was a gut punch of a loss because just when it seemed like it was over, the Steelers claw back, and then you think they're gonna steal it, and then it gets stolen back away from them.

The final two minutes, the game was right there, but the defense just couldn't close things down, Double B.

Uh, the Steelers did their part.

They did an 80-yard touchdown drive.

Rogers hits Pat Freiermuth and runs in for the two-point conversion to tie the game up at 24 apiece with 1:42 left.

And then the Browns come right back 36 yards, seven plays, and they didn't really face too much resistance, did they? And I don't know about you, but you know, I felt pumped and, and in one hand I was, "Hey, Steelers came back.

They put 14 points on the board in the fourth quarter," but was it too little too late? Because my fear was the defense, they simply couldn't get a lot of stops last night.

The, the Browns didn't gash them on huge chunk plays, but the Browns offense made the plays when they had to, and once again, that final sequence, you knew.

Schmidt's a good kicker, so you knew as soon as they got past the 50-yard line, there was a good chance they were gonna have him in a position to do what he did.

I actually woke up to the surprise that Andre Schmidt is my kicker on one of my fantasy teams, and-

Oh, let's see how that goes for you

...

I don't normally, I don't normally ever like start people against the Steelers, and [clears throat] it would've been a lot better if he-- I, I would've taken three less points-

I'm the same, by the way.
