Benny Snell gets the first backup snap at RB so far today. But now Anthony McFarland is in for second-and-16 at the Browns 17.

1:09

I hear a Browns fan barking. At least I assume (and hope) that's what it is. Ben Roethlisberger incomplete on third down, and the Steelers cannot score a TD on their opening drive for the first time since Week 15 of 2018.

1:10

Chris Boswell's field goal is good. Steelers 3, Browns 0.

Mike Medina

1:11

First blood!

Brian Batko

1:11

You're a glass half-full guy aren't ya Mike?

Was he throwing it away or expecting a different route

Brian Batko

1:11

Tony Romo says he was expecting JuJu to run a different route, and I always trust Tony Romo. Except on beer. Corona would not be my first choice.

It's a start ! How bout a 3 and out for the defense.

HudsonValleySteve

1:12

Ben getting pressure??? shudda stayed w/run seems they hitting on left side

Rich

1:13

Why not get the first down before throwing two in the end zone.

Elwood P Dowd

1:13

Over 20 games without an opening drive TD

Brian Batko

1:14

Browns come out in I-formation. New coach Kevin Stefanski wants to run the ball, and he'll use a fulback to do it.

But they'll also go empty. And Baker Mayfield nearly picks up a first down on the ground. Third-and-3 now.

1:15

Minkah Fitzpatrick, pick-six. There ya go, chat fam. That's a 33-yard return for the TD.

HudsonValleySteve

1:15

yoyoyo

Shawn

1:16

Minkah! Bout time!

rman

1:16

even better than 3 and out !

Elwood P Dowd

1:16

Hilarious

Brian Batko

1:16

No one took defensive TD in the poll. Chris Boswell is good on the XP. Steelers 10, Browns 0 with 8:58 left in the first quarter.

Shawn

1:16

Baker's such a bum lol

Angela

1:16

Uh..what was that about 39 having a bad year?

Elwood P Dowd

1:16

A different kind of 3 and out

Steelersfaninct

1:17

That may stop the minkah questions in the weekly chats

Martavius

1:17

Holy crackers !!! you called that one oh great Shaler Titan !!! Minkah pick 6 !

Brian Batko

1:18

Raise your hand if you have the Steelers D in fantasy

Michael Mozart

1:18

Brown's need to play from behind now.

Brian Batko

1:18

They've led at halftime every game this year except their only loss, Week 1 against the Ravens.

Elwood P Dowd

1:19

Faninct is right - No Minkah questions this week

Rich

1:19

Steelers got to keep the pressure on both offense and def.

HudsonValleySteve

1:20

Minkah jump a route, or bad throw???

Brian Batko

1:20

Those two, plus a bad decision, so the holy trinity

That was Minkah Fitzpatrick's first interception in 12 games and first TD return since 96-yarder vs Indy on Nov. 3, 2019

Shawn

1:20

Jumped route on a bad read

Brian Batko

1:21

Third-and-7 and Baker gets crushed by Bud Dupree for a sack. Steelers dominating this game thus far and Browns will punt.

Shawn

1:21

Oh man, this is fun

HudsonValleySteve

1:21

oh yeah 3&out go D.....

Guest

I think i'll have ribs with those brownies.

Brian Batko

1:25

Myles Garrett on Al Villanueva's side for this drive. Something to monitor.

Shawn

1:25

Bold prediction- Steelers will rush for 200+ yards and browns will not crack 75
