The Pittsburgh Steelers have preserved their playoff chance in the North American football league NFL.
By beating the Cleveland Browns 26:14, the Steelers have nine season wins from 16 games to their credit. The guests, however, can no longer reach the finals, they are last in the AFC North Division.
After a pointless first quarter, Pittsburgh took a 10-0 lead by halftime. After a pass from veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Diontae Johnson brought the ball into the end zone before Chris Boswell put in a field goal.
The Browns, in which playmaker Baker Mayfield did not have a good day, fought their way back again, but in the final section the Steelers made the decision with two more field goals and a touchdown by Najee Harris.
The performance by TJ Watt was also outstanding. The 27-year-old booked four so-called sacks in which he brought down the opposing quarterback. Watt achieved a personal career record.
