The Cleveland Browns have an opportunity to accomplish a feat that hasn’t been accomplished by a Browns squad since 1988. Even though the Browns are only 3-9 this season, a victory over Pittsburgh on Sunday would give them a sweep of the Pittsburgh Steelers, something they haven’t done since 1988. One of those victories came in an ugly Thursday Night Football game against the Steelers.
In the NFL, that is the longest stretch of its kind. This statistic continues the pattern of incompetence that the Browns have had throughout their existence. The Browns have recently begun to turn around and have even experienced some success in the playoffs.
Pittsburgh has performed admirably in defending its home field against the Browns, but Cleveland defeated the Steelers on the road. Even though the defense has been a complete catastrophe for the majority of the season, the Browns and Jameis Winston have found their offensive rhythm.
The Browns’ season will officially end and they will no longer be eligible for the playoffs if the Steelers win. Therefore, a match between two divisional opponents that took place only two weeks ago has a lot on the line.
