Pittsburgh, PA – The first quarter in Pittsburgh ended with the Steelers leading 7-3. Each offense turned it over on their first offensive series and the Browns paid the price with a pick six by Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith.

The Browns would get three points off the foot of kicker Dustin Hopkins, and he also missed from 43-yards out that would have put Cleveland one point behind. For Pittsburgh the running game remains nonexistent with Najee Harris gaining negative three yards rushing on two carries.

The boo-birds haven’t begun yet at Acrisure Stadium but they will begin chirping soon enough in the absence of points remains an issue for an offense searching for an identity.
