The Pittsburgh Steelers looked unstoppable during the first half of the season.
Ever since they lost their first game of the year to the Washington Football Team, however, the wheels have completely come off.
Heading into Sunday’s showdown against the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh had lost three of its last four games.
As if that weren’t bad enough, midway through the Browns game, two Steelers lineman randomly started fighting each other on the sideline.

“I didn’t pull a Paul Pierce,” Jackson said. “I didn’t pull a Paul Pierce. I was cramping.”
What an amazing reference. For those unfamiliar, the former Boston Celtics star was carried off in a wheelchair in Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals with an apparent knee injury though Pierce admitted years later that he really just had to use the bathroom, confirming years of Internet conspiracies.
Like Pierce, however, Jackson made a dramatic return to the game. On Monday, Jackson rushed out of the locker room when backup Trace McSorley went down with a knee injury on third down. The following play, Jackson hit receiver Marquise Brown for a go-ahead touchdown with 1:51 left.
