BROWNS 21 STEELERS 21 (OT)

-

Well, the Browns didn’t lose. They didn’t win either. Cleveland ended its 17-game losing skid by virtue of its tie against longtime rival Pittsburgh. But the Browns missed a chance at their first victory since 2016 when kicker Zane Gonzalez’s 43-yard field-goal attempt with nine seconds left in OT was blocked by T.J. Watt. The Steelers, who blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, also wasted their chance to escape with a win when Chris Boswell was wide left on a 42-yard field-goal attempt with 1:44 remaining in the extra period. It was the NFL’s first tie in Week 1 since 1971 and the league’s first tie since Oct. 30, 2016. The Browns have not won a game since Dec. 24, 2016.
