To kick off Week 12, the Cleveland Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in a wild flurry of snow.
Wild game between the Browns and the Steelers. In a real snowstorm in Cleveland, Pittsburgh ultimately lost 19:24.
After the Steelers opened the spectacle at the start of the 12th game week with a field goal by Chris Boswell, the Browns turned the score to their side in the second quarter.
Thanks, among other things, to star running back Nick Chubb’s first touchdown, the score was 10:3 at the break.
Browns quarterback Jameis Winston then extended Cleveland’s lead with a rushing touchdown.
In the fourth quarter, in which the field in Cleveland was now completely covered in snow, the Steelers showed their comeback qualities with two touchdowns, but Chubb once again had the last word.
57 seconds before the end he made the final score 24:19.
Winston sings “Jingle Bells.”
Steelers receiver George Pickens caused a stir on the last play of the game. During Pittsburgh quarterback Russell Wilson’s Hail Mary attempt, Pickens was more concerned with a private duel with Browns defender Greg Newsome instead of focusing on his playmaker’s pass.
The Steelers suffered only their third defeat of the season and now have a record of 8-3. With the Browns it’s exactly the opposite: Cleveland – somewhat surprisingly – got their third win and has a record of 3-8.
After the game, Winston was full of joy. As he left the booth for the TV interview, he happily sang: “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way” and then said on “Amazon Prime”: “I spoke to my family on the phone today and my kids have something Ate snow from the air, so I’ll definitely eat some snow today.”
