Wilson throws for 2 touchdowns as Steelers cruise past mistake-prone Browns 27-14

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — Cam Heyward has been on good teams before. Russell Wilson threw for 158 yards and two touchdowns, Heyward recorded two sacks and the Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns 27-14 on Sunday even with leading receiver George Pickens watching from the sideline while missing the first game of his career due to a groin injury. “I don’t believe the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns,” Winston said. The surge began when Winston’s screen pass intended for Chubb landed in the hands of 6-foot-4, 309-pound Steelers defensive tackle Keeanu Benton, who lugged his first career interception 11 yards. That’s what we’re trying to do.” Cleveland had chances to keep the Steelers within sight, but Hopkins saw a 38-yard field goal at breezy Acrisure Stadium late in the first half sail wide left, then had a 43-yarder drift wide right early in the third quarter.
