PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Browns seem to be going backward.
Cleveland dropped its third straight game, 33-18 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who shook off a sluggish start and handed the Browns their 25th straight road loss — one shy of the NFL record.
Browns coach Hue Jackson called the loss ‘disheartening’ amid reports he may soon part ways with offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
The Steelers gave their hurting city some comfort a day after a gunman killed 11 people at services in a local synagogue.
Coach Mike Tomlin lives close to the synagogue and a former team employee lost two brothers in the massacre.
Pittsburgh’s players were grateful to help their community feel some comfort amid the tragedy.
