The Steelers Are The First Team This CENTURY To Pull Off A 4th Quarter Comeback In Which They Had Negative Yards In The Quarter

How is this even possible? This seems impossible. I can't even begin to wrap my brain around the fact that a team came from behind to win a football game in a quarter where they gained negative yards. Like, when Pittsburgh had the football in the 4th quarter, they literally went BACKWARDS. But they came back and won the game. 

I'm not sure if this is more impressive for the Steelers or more embarrassing for the Browns. Has to be the latter, right? But the fact of the matter is that the Browns are the Browns. Nothing surprises me anymore, and I cannot believe I actually expected to win last night. This kind of thing only happens to one organization in the NFL and that's Cleveland. All other 31 teams win that game. And I feel like phrasing that in that way gives the other 31 teams too much credit. Like, all I'm asking them to do is hold a lead when the other team can't even gain a yard. 

So does Kenny Pickett get credit for a 4th quarter comeback....? Or does Deshaun Watson get the credit? On one side of the coin, Pickett is the Steelers QB. But on the other hand, Deshaun Watson scored more points for them last night....

Steelers Offense: 12 points

Steelers Defense: 14 points

What an absolute joke. Should've just taken a knee every down in the 4th quarter and we would've won. I can't believe I just typed that out loud, but it's a fact. They had NEGATIVE YARDS and came back to win. And now the question must be asked: at what point do we just disband the Browns franchise and move on? Should've never returned in 1999.
