Quick Take: Steelers win defensive battle

It was over when ...
The Steelers brought down Browns QB Derek Anderson on the final play of the game, stopping Cleveland's comeback attempt and sealing Pittsburgh's 10th consecutive win over its AFC North rival.

Game ball
The Steelers forced the Browns to punt on their first four drives and then ended Cleveland's next two drives with interceptions, sending the home team into the locker room to a chorus of boos. In the second half, the Browns sustained two long drives, but could only manage two field goals.

Key stat
The Browns held the ball longer than the Steelers (30:17 to 29:43) but did not use the clock efficiently at the end of both halves. In the second quarter, a penalty and Cleveland's inability to get out of bounds forced the team to scramble, resulting in a turnover. In the fourth quarter, the Browns used their final timeout before the two-minute warning, preventing them from stopping the clock on their final possession.
