There you go Steelers,there you go...Browns 13-6

Mike Tomlin vowed to "Unleash hell in December".
What he and his Pittsburgh Steelers have produced is a five game losing streak with the last three to three of the worst teams in the NFL.
The Cleveland Browns with a defense held together by duck tape and clothes hangers combined a phenomenal game plan to go along with top notch effort and stunned the heavily favored Steelers 13-6.
The now 2-11 Browns have 10 days to prepare for their final road game of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brownie Bits

1) Eight sacks of Ben Rothlisberger?
Most notable of the bunch was Corey Williams bagging two of them.
Williams has screamed from the first day he was brought from Green Bay that he was a tackle not an end and wanted a shot at Shaun Rogers position after the injury that ended Rogers season.

2) Give most of the credit to Rob Ryan for the defensive game plan,but give Eric Mangini some credit as well.
Without Mangini approving the all out rush tactics,Ryan would have been forced to play it closer to the vest and perhaps the win doesn't happen.....

3) Jerome Harrison started the game,but Chris Jennings was the main ball carrier scoring the games only TD and finishing with 73 yards.
Jennings ran hard and might have been a better fit against the Steeler defense.

4) But the player of the game on this night was the "Steeler Killer' Josh Cribbs,who always owns Pittsburgh win or lose and his work in the "Wildcat" running and breaking Steeler tackles was the difference on this night.

5) Any idea who Brian Schaefering is and where Lindenwood college (?) is?
Well,he was signed eight days ago and finished with four tackles and a sack and a half and looked awfully strong among a dominant defensive line last night.
The Cleveland defensive line stomping the Pittsburgh O-Line was a key in keeping the Steelers off balance.

6) Brady Quinn was just 6 for 19 and completed just one pass in the second half,but made no mistakes on a brutally cold night that a mistake could have cost the Browns the game.
Credit to Quinn not forcing something that wasn't there over the course of the evening...

7) Another nice game by Eric Wright,who had seven tackles and played a large part in keeping Hines Ward under control (4 catches for 21 yds).
Tackling has often been an issue with Wright,but not in this game...

8) The Browns could have an even bigger lead,but Robert Royal dropped a pass that could have been a TD on a drive that was eventually a field goal drive.
Why Royal still gets passes thrown to him is a puzzle to me....

9) Note to Steeler fans-have fun with Mike Tomlin,who looked either confused or disinterested as the game went on.
Enjoy the feeling of the team not responding to the coach,Browns fans have had that quite often through the year (s).

10) I realize the Browns dropped in the draft with the win and you know what?
I don't care!
Usually I like to look at the big picture,but today I am taking the W!!!!!

Will try to be back later with the Devils win from Wed,but I may do a post tomorrow that covers that combined with tonight's game against Florida...
