First-half thoughts from Browns-Steelers
Posted by on November 25, 2012 – 7:32 pmBy Vic Carucci, Senior Editor
Here are some thoughts on the first half of the Browns’ game against the Steelers at Cleveland Browns Stadium:
What I liked…
>>Not getting rattled after Brandon Weeden threw a pick-six on the game’s fourth play from scrimmage.
>>Part of the way the Browns demonstrated they weren’t rattled was forcing a pair of fumbles that resulted in 10 points.
>>Weeden’s excellent throw and Jordan Cameron’s superb catch for the touchdown after the Steelers’ second fumble.
>>Usama Young’s impressive first half. The safety recovered a fumble and his blitz forced Charlie Batch into an incompletion.
>>The Browns’ stuffing the run and forcing the Steelers to lean more heavily than they would prefer on Batch’s 37-year-old passing arm.
What I didn’t like …
>>Giving up a touchdown in the final second of the half after a pass-interference penalty on Sheldon Brown put the Steelers in position for a Chris Rainey one-yard touchdown run that he amazingly bounced outside after being stuffed and knocked back up the middle.
>>Not getting touchdowns after both Steeler turnovers.
>>Not getting points out of the Steelers’ third fumble.
>>Be sure to tune in Monday through Friday, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET, for “Cleveland Browns Daily, Driven by Liberty Ford” on ESPN 850 WKNR or catch the live stream right here on ClevelandBrowns.com.
