The Cleveland Browns are coming off a historically surprising loss but do not have much time to stew over it with a home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on tap for Thursday night. Read on for our Steelers-Browns picks.
The Browns did something in Week 2 that had not happened to the previous 2,229 teams in a similar situation, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Cleveland blew a 23-point lead to the New York Jets in the final 1:22 of their Week 2 matchup. NFL teams were a combined 2,229-0 since 2001 when leading by 13 or more points in the final two minutes. Throwing more salt on the wound, the last team to lose such a game was the Browns 21 years ago.
The Steelers look for their second straight road win to start the season, and a Pittsburgh win this week would be the fourth consecutive time in this AFC North rivalry that the underdog was victorious.
