After all, Superman is not supposed to bleed, much less get knocked out in front of a sold-out crowd that was maybe 30% Canadian. Just when Team Canada thought they had one up, the goal was reviewed and it seemed inconclusive so it was waved off.
This is a lot of points to lay on a road team but the Browns aren’t going to match what Ben Roethlisberger and Co.do offensively.
CHICAGO – If this becomes the final game with Detroit for Calvin Johnson and the final game with Chicago for Matt Forte, they both gave their fans something to remember.
Despite the lopsided score, Cleveland did seem to putting forth a good effort trying to beat their longtime rivals.
After every game there are players who deserve the label of a “Winner”, and others who are dubbed “Losers”.
Roethlisberger threw three touchdown passes, Pittsburgh’s defense dominated and the Steelers slipped into the AFC playoffs with a 28-12 win Sunday over the Cleveland Browns, who are expected to fire coach Mike Pettine. While Roethlisberger had three touchdown passes against the Browns on Sunday, he also had two interceptions. PROBABLE: S Will Allen (not injury related), CB Antwon Blake (back), CB William Gay (not injury related), LB James Harrison (illness), TE Heath Miller (not injury related), S Mike Mitchell (shoulder), QB Ben Roethlisberger (illness), LB Ryan Shazier (not injury related), TE Matt Spaeth (not injury related).

LB Craig Robertson intercepted Roethlisberger on the opening drive of the third quarter and returned the ball to the Steelers’ eight yard line.

Last season, Roethlisberger posted his best touchdown to interception ratios last season (32 to 9). Cleveland was unable to get any push on the defensive side, and in form with the rest of the season, Danny Shelton was a big non-factor. The Steelers put consistent pressure on Browns quarterback Austin Davis, as Stephon Tuitt notched two of the seven sacks for the unit on the day. And while the Steelers’ offensive line is a strength, they don’t have much bench strength in that area. He reeled in 13 passes for 187 yards and a score.
