Plenty of people figured that Sunday night s rematch between the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers might be one-sided. Few expected the Browns to be the ones delivering the beat-down. The tone was set from the very beginning in the final matchup of Super Wild-Card Weekend, with Ben Roethlisberger failing to corral a wayward snap on the first play from scrimmage and the Browns scooping it up for a score. Cleveland then proceeded to own the momentum for the duration of the first half, capitalizing on three Roethlisberger interceptions to build a stunning 28-point lead. The Steelers showed plenty of life down the stretch, pulling within two scores and threatening a comeback thanks to a Big Ben resurgence, but by then, it was too little, too late, and Cleveland sealed its first playoff victory since 1994 with a 48-37 decision.
