The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered an inexcusable road loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 17, falling 13-6 on Sunday and squandering a golden opportunity to clinch the AFC North.
The Steelers were a mess on offense without D.K. Metcalf, failing to score a touchdown for the first time all season. All they managed was a pair of Chris Boswell field goals in the second quarter before getting shut out for the entire second half.
After starting December 3-0 with three strong performances, Aaron Rodgers endured his worst game in four weeks.
