It's 12 straight losses for the Browns against the Steelers after they lost 27-14 on Sunday.
Browns WR/KR/QB Joshua Cribbs had a busy day: 6 carries for 45 yards, 0 for 2 passing with an interception and a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown.
Said Browns S Abram Elam after Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger threw for 417 yards, "They did a good job of getting open, finding holes in zones. They made some plays."
Browns LB D'Qwell Jackson left the game with a shoulder injury in the second quarter and didn't return.
Browns QB Derek Anderson refused to pin his struggles on drops by his receivers.
Said Steelers TE Heath Miller of Roethlisberger, "This is the best I've ever seen him play."
Steelers S Troy Polamalu ditched his knee brace during warmups and had an interception in his return to the lineup.
Rashard Mendenhall and Willie Parker each fumbled, but Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said that wasn't the reason why Mewelde Moore was in at running back on the final Steelers drive.
The Steelers allowed a season-low 197 yards to the Browns offense.
Steelers LB Lawrence Timmons had two sacks and forced two fumbles.

Vikings.......VIKINGS!!! 7-0 baby... WE'RE COMIN!!!!
Vikings are about to get dominated. Favre is going to get knocked back into retirement.
Our kicker is going to single-handedly win the 2009 Turd Watch. Cut him and go get some schmuck off the street, he looked pickled against the Bears too.

Should be a great game at Heinz this weekend.
The game will be won/lost at the line of scrimmage.
Be sure to wear your purple so we recognize you in the stands!
Go Steelers!
haha Benny...good post. I don't like the guy at all. He is a jerk plain and simple. I was thinking that he was either sauced for the Bears game or nursing a mean hangover as well. I certainly wouldn't doubt it.
Hey jerk or not he's still a helluva kicker, and has done great things for us in dire situations in the past.
