Answers to Steelers burning Questions in Thursday night brawl vs. the Browns
By Edward Hunt
The Steelers lost a brawl to the Cleveland Browns. This game hurt from both results and injuries standpoint.
The Steelers lost to the Browns 21-7, and that was not the only thing that went wrong that night. The Steelers offense could not move the ball, and that was frustrating to see.
The offense struggled partially because they had some injuries at key positions. Running back, James Conner had his shoulder flare-up early in the game forcing him to leave the game. Juju Smith-Schuster had a concussion from a hit from three players in the first half, as well.
There was an absolutely brutal hit in the secondary as Damarious Randall hit Diontae Johnson in the head and knocked him out. It was a gruesome concussion as Diontae Johnson was seen bleeding from the ears, and his posture looked crooked.
The story of the night was a fight between Mason Rudolph and Myles Garrett. Mason Rudolph was taken down by Myles Garrett. Garrett rips off Rudolph’s helmet and hit him over the head with it.
This caused the Steelers offensive line to retaliate, especially Maurkice Pouncey, who was punching and kicking Garrett.
There were plenty of fines and suspensions, including fines for both organizations. Myles Garrett has been suspended indefinitely and will be out at least for the regular season and playoffs. Maurkice Pouncey has been suspended for three games. Larry Ogunjobi has been suspended for one. Mason Rudolph has been fined.
There’s a lot to chew on from this game, but as I said, I will answer my five burning questions.
