Both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns coming into Sunday’s game likely didn’t want to re-hash any shenanigans from their previous meeting in Cleveland. The biggest difference was behind center with Mason Rudolph being benched for Devlin ‘Duck’ Hodges.

With the Wild Card position on the line, Pittsburgh’s defense again stepped up when the offense needed them most. I think the photo above gives you the story of the game for both teams. The home team improved to 7-5, currently holding one of two AFC Wild Card positions, along with Houston. Pittsburgh heads to Arizona next week before their final home game at Heinz Field on Sun., Dec. 15 against the Buffalo Bills, another big divisional game.
