The Steelers and Browns fought through the remnants of Hurricane Ike to play a thrilling Sunday Night game at which yours truly was in attendance.
The real story of the game was the insane weather and the defense on display by either team.
The game was slow to start until Ben Roethlisberger hit Hines Ward in the endzone to put the Steelers up.
The Steelers would add a field goal and control the ball, thanks to a solid performance by Willie Parker, Ward, Roethlisberger and Santonio Holmes.
The strangest part of the game came when Browns coach Romeo Crennel opted to kick a field goal with less than 4 minutes left in the game to cut the Steelers lead to 4. The Steelers would pick up the necessary first downs to run the clock down. The Browns would have one last shot at scoring and winning the game but came up short to give the Steelers the win.

Next week the Steelers take on the newly improved Philadelphia Eagles. This should be an intense matchup, as both teams hail from this great state of ours and represent cities who have serious hatred for each other.
