Game Notes
The rivalry heats up in the papers and before the game... but the Steelers calmly and cooly dominate the game 24-10.
With threats exchanged during the week, and then Joey Porter and William Green showing off their stupidity with a pre-game fight and ejections, Pittsburgh takes control when it matters. Jerome Bettis runs for 103 yards and 2 TDs, while Ben Roethlisberger avoids devasting mistakes and improves to 7-0 as a starter.
Phil Dawson's 31-yard FG minutes into the contest gives Cleveland a 3-0 lead. But the Steelers control after that. Bettis scores on runs of 5 and 1 yards giving Pittsburgh a 14-3 lead before halftime.
The Browns manage just 228 yards while turning it over 4 times.
