PITTSBURGH — The first drive saw the Browns offense and Jerry Jeudy going backwards, and things didn’t get much better from there.
In Cleveland’s 23-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, it was clear from the jump that the potential for an ugly afternoon was strong.
On first-and-10 from their own 45, Jeudy was whistled for an unnecessary-roughness penalty on a 2-yard run by Quinshon Judkins, getting into it with Joey Porter Jr. and hitting the Steelers cornerback’s face.
