The Cleveland Browns stunned the Pittsburgh Steelers in a freezing showdown, winning 24-19. Despite a heroic comeback attempt by Pittsburgh, Cleveland sealed the victory with a final touchdown and thwarted the Steelers’ last-ditch miracle effort.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were left frozen during their visit to Cleveland, as they arrived at Cleveland Browns Stadium under heavy snowfall, seeking to stay close to the leaders of the AFC. Against all odds, the home team triumphed, earning their third win of the season.
On the field, after a scoreless first quarter, the Steelers were the first to get on the scoreboard in the second quarter with a 48-yard field goal.
The Browns responded with a rushing touchdown during a 12-play drive, taking a 7-3 lead. Later, they added another 34-yard field goal, ending the first half ahead 10-3.
In the third quarter, the Steelers cut the deficit to just 4 points with another field goal. However, early in the final quarter, Cleveland extended their lead with a touchdown and a successful two-point conversion, making it 18-6.
In the next few plays, Pittsburgh seemed poised for an epic comeback. First, they scored a touchdown, narrowing the score to 18-13. Then, a fumble caused by a sack on the Browns’ quarterback allowed the Steelers to recover the ball, leading to another touchdown. Despite missing the two-point conversion, they reclaimed the lead at 19-18.
The Browns launched a new offensive drive, battling both the Steelers’ defense and worsening weather conditions, as the heavy snow became a significant factor. Although the Steelers intercepted the ball during this drive, the Browns’ defense held firm, stopping Pittsburgh deep in their territory.
