The Browns went in to tonight’s Wild Card game in Pittsburgh with their head coach watching from his basement back in Cleveland and with the team barely having any practices leading up to the game.
Then after the first quarter the Browns found themselves up on the Steelers 28-0.
Life is crazy, isn’t it?
The Browns opened the scoring by returning a fumble 2 yards for a TD on the Steelers’ first play of the game then added three more over the next 15 minutes.
Ben Roethlisberger has been awful, throwing three interceptions in the first two quarters but the Steelers still had some life after scoring a TD late in the second quarter to make it 28-7.
But then the Browns scored at TD with 34 seconds left in the half to show the Steelers that a comeback isn’t going to be easy at all.
All of this left everyone stunned… and making jokes:
Steelers out there looking like a ACC CFB Playoff team tonight.

NFL writers petitioned the football gods, saying “I have said the Steelers are actually bad all year. Please validate my takes in front of a national audience.”
And the football gods said “lol bet.”

This game is so bad, I may have to watch Wonder Woman 84 as a pick me up.

Good thing Ben Roethlisberger has everyone blocked on Twitter.

Since Donald Trump is banned, I'll say it – The Cleveland Browns are treating the Steelers very, very badly. Many people are saying they've never seen a game that was so unfair.
