For now we play for the AFC north lead and I wait to see Travis cry in that corner. GO STEELERS!

After that game, it's the Steelers who should be crying.
The Browns exceeded my expectations in every facet of the game, including defense. They actually had a pass rush and sacked the Big Dumb Oaf today!
To have a realistic shot at the end to tie (but not being able to because Phil Dawson couldn't hit a long-distance FG if his life depended on it), I'm happy with it.
Derek Anderson forgot how to throw accurately in the 2nd half - he had looks but failed to take advantage. I am glad he didn't make any dumb mistakes. Actually the Browns protected the ball VERY well. To have your only turnover on a play where your RB is fighting and pushing the pile to turn a 5 yard gain into 7, well I'll take that.
And did the Steelers' vaunted D even sack Anderson once? Hmmm.
I think the Browns do have a shot at winning out if they keep putting up the points. They continue to be in every game they play, right to the end. Steelers? There's no way in heck you beat the Patriots. Unfortunately.
