28-Zero after one quarter. The Cleveland Browns took a 4 landing lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers in a single quarter. Now is an effective time to do not forget that Huge Ben has already announced he will return to Pittsburgh next year and so they haven’t any plan of succession.
Replace: The Steelers then punted one of the vital cowardly and questionable punts potential from Browns’ territory early within the second quarter.
PIT determined to punt to CLE from the CLE 38 on 4th & 9 with 12:19 remaining within the 2nd whereas dropping Zero to 28.
With a Give up Index of 27.75, this punt ranks on the 99.4th percentile of cowardly punts of the 2020 season, and the 98th percentile of all punts since 2009.
