2001 Steelers 28 vs Browns 7 With a bye week coming and home-field advantage already guaranteed throughout the playoffs, most Steeler starters play only the first half of this cold, snowy game and some -- such as Jerome Bettis and Alan Faneca -- don't play at all due to injuries. Backup Tommy Maddox replaces Kordell Stewart in the 2nd half and hits Bobby Shaw for a 40-yd TD and Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala and R.J. Bowers combine for 2 TDs and 165 of Pittsburgh's 221 rushing yds behind an O-line filled with backups. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh's defense limits Cleveland to 173 total yds, intercepting Tim Couch twice and sacking him 4 times. |
