Cleveland Browns bounce back from humiliating loss to beat bitter rivals Pittsburgh Steelers, 29-17

Last Sunday afternoon was one to forget for the Cleveland Browns.

For a franchise with a history of heartbreak and disappointment, giving up a 13-point lead in the final few minutes against the New York Jets – and their backup quarterback – to lose was shocking even for the Browns.

However, on Thursday Night Football, they went some ways towards correcting those mistakes, beating their bitter AFC North division rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, 29-17 which makes Cleavland’s upcoming match a perfect live betting opportunity.

Cleveland quarterback Jacoby Brissett threw for 220 yards and two touchdowns – one to Amari Cooper and one to David Njoku – while Nick Chubb continued his excellent season, running for 113 yards and a touchdown.

Despite trailing at halftime, a combination of the Browns offense rolling and the defense putting the clamps on the Steelers wrapped up an important victory for Cleveland, exorcising some of Sunday’s demons.

It was Brissett’s burgeoning connection with Cooper – who was traded from the Dallas Cowboys in the offseason – which was a key driving force behind Thursday’s victory.

Having broken out in his home debut last week with 101 yards, Cooper again finished with 101 yards against Pittsburgh, including an 11-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

After the game, Brissett expressed his appreciation for the acquisition of the four-time Pro Bowler.

“I’m glad they [management] did it,” Brissett told NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.

“I mean he’s been unbelievable. He’s one of the smartest, hardest-working players I’ve ever worked with, comes out here every week, every day working hard, putting in the needed work to become a champion.
