Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns
PIT 43, CLE 0
Season 1999 · Week 1 · Sep 12, 1999
Cleveland Browns Stadium — Cleveland, OH
Sometimes, teams have forgettable games - final scores so atrocious that you feel bad for the players. These outcomes are usually unsurprising in hindsight, with cause for alarm arriving before the game kicks off — and lasting throughout. Pittsburgh handled their rival comfortably, punting only once and finishing perfect on official field goal attempts on the day. Steelers kicker Kris Brown had a close call as his 30-yard attempt ricocheted off the upright. Ultimately, a penalty nullified the miss, and after several inconsequential plays, Brown converted a short 19-yarder anyway. In a 43-point rout where Brown would even miss an extra point later, it was a minor sequence, but one emblematic of the unceremonious return of football to Cleveland.
