Throughout the season this team has struggled week in, week out against every opponent but today I felt this team might have turned a corner with a great team win today and I think the arrow for the Steelers at least after this game is pointing up! I hope they don't lose focus going forward as this is a big win for Pittsburgh. I didn't think the Steelers would beat the Browns today in Cleveland. It was a complete game in all 3 facets of the game. The only dark spot this game was the poor coaching decision by Tomlin to fake a FG in the first half instead of settling for the chip shot 3 pointer. The Defense looked shaky to start the game and on the Clowns first drive in the 3rd Quarter but they really kept the Clowns running game #1 (175 ypg) in the NFL in check the entire game. Schobert finally made a nice splash play stripping Landry of the football in the 4th QTR recovered by TJ Watt. I'm sure going against his old team was a little extra motivation this week for Schobert. Cam Heyward and TJ Watt are GAME WRECKERS! These 2 guys really are the Heart & Soul of this Defense and they are tearing it up out there each and every week. I love seeing Heyward playing at such a high level.....especially considering his age (32). I also thought Devin Bush looked better this week after 2 pretty pathetic performances the previous 2 games but he didn't look good on Johnson's 10 yd TD run either overrunning the play that was just inexcusable. On the offensive side of the football the O-line really continues to improve in the run game and opened up some nice holes for Najee Harris. Dan Moore struggled today vs Myles Garrett but he held up down the stretch and on the plays that mattered to help the Steelers win in the end. Congratulations to Ben Roethlisberger on his 50th win against Ohio teams....26 vs Bungles & 24th win vs Clowns! Tomlin needs to keep this team focused moving forward...they are 4-3 and in a good spot with 2 home games coming up that are both very winnable....vs Bears & Lions.

Najee Harris - 26 for 91 1TD 3 rec 29 yds - 120 yds from scrimmage vs the #1 run D in the NFL
Steelers O-line - They struggled at times today but they really blew some holes open for Harris in the running game. They continue to improve
Pat Freiermuth - 4 rec 44 yds 1TD - Great focus in the endzone on his TD catch to get control of the ball and 2 feet down
TJ Watt - 4 tackles 1.5 sacks 1 fumble recovery.....he wrecks opposing Defenses
Cam Heyward - He gets better with age.....32 years young and he brings it each and every week!
Joe Schobert - 7 tackles 1 Forced Fumble - His best game as a Steeler so far
Mike Hilton - Game Ball to you sir for the Helmet to Helmet hit Penalty after stopping the Jets on 3rd & 11 with 2 minutes to go. Gave the Jets a 1st down and the victory! Bungles...BUNGLED!
Game Goats:
Mike Tomlin - He took responsibility for the Fake FG call.....it got our FG knocked out of the game.....it was a terrible call but I thought the Clowns should have been called for a roughing penalty on Boswell....the Clowns linemen took 3 steps at full speed and blasted Boswell into next week. Should have been a penalty!
FU's:
FU to the Clowns and their fans because the Steeler Nation and Steelers HATE YOUR ******* GUTS! Assume the Position you are use to being....LAST PLACE IN THE AFC NORTH!
FU to the Officiating - WTF....Ben gets driven into the turf and they picked up the roughing the QB penalty. Baker gets hit as he throws by Watt & Highsmith and that's a Roughing the QB? Also where was the penalty on the Clowns for the hit on Boswell?
