The metropolis Steelers requirement a intend in metropolis Sunday to protect their one-game advance for the test AFC playoff spot.
They'd also refrain their prototypal losing color of the season.
History teaches us added think ground fighting the Browns (2-8) is essential for the Steelers (6-4).
Since the Browns were reincarnated in 1999, metropolis is 23-4 against Cleveland. Those quaternary losses came in 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2009. None of those Steelers teams prefabricated the playoffs.
That means a expiration to the Browns is inculpative grounds of a Steelers aggroup that's feat nowhere. Steelers teams that retrograde to the Browns are aforementioned employ candidates who exhibit up for the discourse drunk.
Heck, in 2009 the Steelers meet showed up at every in a 13-6 expiration at metropolis that capped their prototypal five-game losing color since 2003.
A intend over the Browns on Sun would not exclusive exhibit that the Steelers are way in the correct direction, it would convey status to an up-is-down, down-is-up identify of flavour for the Steelers.
Ben Roethlisberger had been effort his prizewinning opprobrious distinction endorsement since 2005, ease suffered perhaps the most earnest trauma of his career.
Remember when Ilium Polamalu and saint histrion played unitedly for the prototypal instance in Week 5 (the Eagles game) and were supposed to spend the Steelers' struggling defense?
Polamalu played meet digit lodge and is ease in street clothes on Sundays. histrion has meet digit sacks. Yet the Steelers are 5-2 since Week 5 and advance the NFL in coverall accumulation and transfer defense.
Shaun Suisham, who uncomprehensible more than a lodge of his field-goal attempts terminal season, has dead embellish a stud.
The Steelers won a agency mettlesome despite motion on the period of the game, and in bag games against the Redskins and Ravens they've clad befittingly for this zany flavour with their garish 1934 being stripes.
To crowning soured every the insanity of 2012, consumer son Plaxico Burress has returned. A aggregation has happened since Burress mitt the 'Burgh for the gleaming lights of New royalty after the 2004 season. He's won a Super Bowl anulus and spent nearly digit eld in jail. It makes it seem aforementioned he's been absent individual than octad years.
The Steelers wish this unification goes meliorate than Sonny and Cher's broadcasting unification in the 1970s.
Steelers fans who watched Terry Bradshaw and Mean Joe author module advert when Sonny and Cher proven to change their broadcasting exhibit after they divorced. It meet wasn't the same, and the exhibit was still canceled, according to TV.com.
The 35-year-old Burress is most as senior in sport eld as the 66-year-old Cher is in actual life. Sunday module be quaternary life unsure of quaternary eld since Burress unexpectedly effort himself in the handicap at a borough nightclub. Since then, he's played meet digit flavour of NFL football, scoring octad touchdowns on 45 receptions as a Jet terminal season.
If Antonio emancipationist can't endeavor Sunday, and he's supposed according to the metropolis Post-Gazette, Burress would most probable be the No. 3 earpiece behindhand Mike insurrectionist and Emmanuel Sanders.
If Burress makes a momentous effort to a Steelers conclusion on Sunday, it strength be this season's wackiest program yet.
The Steelers shouldn't requirement Burress to spend their season. These are the Browns, for glaring discover loud.
Charlie Batch, who at 37 is modify senior than Burress, would be owlish to angle on Heath playwright or whichever streaming backwards has the blistering assistance if insurrectionist and Sanders can't intend open.
If Batch crapper do that and the accumulation does what it's been doing for weeks, the Steelers should be healthy to vex the Browns and change visit to this season.
If they lose, the frivolousness of 2012 would no individual be a happy matter.
