Home Steelers 2018 Season Out-Brownsing The Browns: Steelers-Browns Tweetcap

Out-Brownsing The Browns: Steelers-Browns Tweetcap

by Ian

In a scene out of some post-modern apocalyptic disaster movie, the city of Cleveland was hit by a mix between a monsoon and tropical storm. Rather than moving the game until Monday, the NFL decided to proceed with a 1pm Sunday start and play the game while Noah built an ark in the parking lot. There was a lot of hope and optimism coming into this one, which got slowly drowned in the downpour off Lake Erie. Here is the first Steelers Tweetcap of the season with the best tweets from the game.

Everyone was excited to have the Steelers back.

The Steelers came out early feeding the rock to James Conner.

The NFL’s new rules? Yeah, they’re bad.

The Steelers drove into the red zone but Ben threw an interception.

Teams from Ohio played like teams from Ohio today.

James Conner scored his first NFL TD

Sean Davis intercepted a pass, but there was a penalty (big surprise).

Ben threw another pick, this time on a horrible mis-fire on a deep ball.

The Conner train rolled on

But Ben couldn’t buy a completion, as a ball went right through Jesse James’ hands and straight to a defender.

The Steelers held a 7-0 lead at halftime, but unraveled at the start of the third quarter.

But the offense came alive with Ben hitting JuJu on a crossing route that he took all the way down inside the 5.

The Steelers had 2 touchdowns nullified by penalties but finally connected on a back-shoulder throw from Ben to AB.

TJ Watt had a monster game.

James Conner scored again to put the Steelers up 21-7.

BREAKING: THE STEELERS RAN A QB SNEAK

Not a good weekend for punters from Pittsburgh

Peppers fumbled the ball as he was being tackled and it went out of the end zone but on review they claimed he was still in contact with the ball when his foot hit out of bounds at the 1 so Cleveland kept the ball.

TJ Watt is still good though.

But the Browns would score on a sideline pass to Josh Gordon to tie the game with 2 minutes left.

The Steelers punted back to the Browns and played defense like idiots, trying to run in subs with the Browns in a no-huddle hurry-up offense.

Thankfully, Cam Sutton stepped up and picked off a deep ball.

Overtime. Watt got his 4th sack, the 6th Steeler ever to do that in one game.

This tweet loomed ominously.

A shanked punt gave the Steelers good field position.

But Boswell missed from 42 yards out to win the game.

After a Browns punt, the Steelers got it back but Ben was strip-sacked and the Browns recovered.

But, guess who, TJ Watt stormed through the line and blocked the Browns field goal with 10 seconds left!

The game ended in a tie. Which some say is like kissing your sister. I’m an only child though, so I can’t confirm or deny that.
