Big Ben’s final home game?

Lots of speculation in CLE that the play calling and prep for Mayfield was so bad that the coach wanted him to fail to get rid of him. I don't agree with this. I think Mayfield is very damaged, physically, that the Browns RT is horrible (he's really the third team tackle and the rest of the OL is so banged up they couldn't double team) and the Steelers simply were really motivated in BB's last home game. Either way, lots and lots of angst in CLE.
The Browns RT (Conklin) was lost for the season with a knee. The backup couldn't pass block. All the more reason to run the ball. No one in Cleveland knows WTF the Browns were thinking. You are lucky to have the Steelers.

Chubb bruised ribs. Kareen Hunt, who was listed as questionable, was a game-day scratch. So they were down to their third-string RB.
 
Agreed. Word is that Chubb had some bad ribs but didn't disclose it pregame. The second team guy was a game time scratch after being out for several weeks with a bad ankle. So they were down to the third team back who has played well but this restricts the plays available. CLE can't overreact. They've had a really tough stretch of games with weird schedules. Ravens, Raiders, Green Bay, Steelers.

Steelers had a very tough stretch too sir.

Maybe one of the toughest schedules in the NFL this year.

Steelers had the toughest schedule sir!

 
Ben is an ass. But so is that guy. Ben donated lots of police dogs to police in every city where he played. Seems one bit a child on the hand.....how is that Ben’s fault? And the woman in Tahoe set up Ben for a big payday.....IMO. Lots of garbage in that piece.
 
Fun stat….
Unitas, Namath, Bradshaw, Staubach/Aikman, Elway, Montana/Young, Fouts, Favre, Warner, Peyton Manning, Rodgers, and Mahomes have combined for zero 500 yd passing games.

Ben has 4.
