CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The Browns offensive struggles continued Sunday in a 23-9 loss to the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
Cleveland’s Dillon Gabriel passed for 221 yards, completing 29 of 51 passes (no touchdowns).
He was also sacked 6 times.
The Browns averaged just 3.3 yards per play and went 6-for-17 on 3rd down.
The Browns still haven’t won a regular-season game in Pittsburgh since 2003.
Aaron Rodgers went 21-of-30 for 235 yards and 2 TD for Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh got its first TD in the 3rd when Rodgers hit Connor Heyward to make it 16-3 Steelers.
Rookie RB Quinshon Judkins was held to just 36 yards on 12 carries.
First time I am really starting to think the #Browns fire Kevin Stefanski.
The team is just terribly coached. Bad penalties. Silly mistakes.
I defend the guy as much as anyone, and I am not even saying he should be fired, but the vibe is beginning to form.

Drops, penalties, every game is pretty much the same with different uniforms.

Tight end David Njoku left in the 4th with a leg injury.

Left knee hyperextends, not a crazy amount but does hyperextend. Hip also being forced into external rotation which could put some stress on the LCL/posterolateral corner, ankle rolls too.
Not a major excursion so hopefully no major injury but is concerning pic.twitter.com/g9qcGhOLc1
