The players were seething as their late-game comeback fell just short.
The offense began the game with a masterful 17-play touchdown drive that took nearly 10 minutes.
But the browns rattled off 21 unanswered points, and the Steelers found themselves trying to climb out of a massive hole.
Alex Highsmith told Channel 11 Sports the game plan coming in was to start fast, and they weren’t able to.
And after the offense led an 80-yard touchdown drive and converted the two point conversion to tie it with just under two minutes to go, the Browns got into field goal range and kicked the game-winner.
Defensive lineman Cam Heyward expressed his frustrations after the loss.
“I’m not gonna make anything more than it is. Lost. They got the job done next to that. Kudos to them. A lot of self-inflicted stuff on our side, but I won’t make excuses,” Heyward said.
That’s now five straight losses for the Steelers against the browns on the road.
Pat Freiermuth expressed that the team has to figure out a way to win in Cleveland.
