Colt McCoy and the Cleveland Browns fought back a little bit in the late fourth quarter but the Pittsburgh Steelers had too much of a lead to overcome.
Steelers Vs. Browns: 41-9 Win Gives The Steelers The Second Seed In The AFC Playoffs
Heading into the fourth quarter with a 35 point lead, the Steelers took out its offensive starters and never looked back. A combination of a strong showing by the Steelers offense and a weak showing by all sides of the ball for the Browns kept the game flow going as it had all game.
The only showing of life for the Browns all game came from a 20-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Brian Robiskie from McCoy. Otherwise the rookie quarterback managed only 209 yards on 20 completions, although he attempted 41 passes. McCoy also threw three interceptions.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns and running back had only 36 yards on 14 carries but managed to score two rushing touchdowns.
