Cleveland officially became the 8398th example of why prevent defense and conservative playcalling are a certain path to losing in the NFL. If the Browns remain aggressive after jumping out to a 15 point lead they may have held on for the victory.

I didn't see either of these things from the Browns. They were continuing to press with the blitz and were taking shots down field throughout the second half. What other type of aggression should they have shown?

From FSN: Roethlisberger kept the drive going with a 20-yard completion to Miller on third-and-18 and his own 10-yard run to the 2 on third-and-9 before Miller made a one-handed catch for the go-ahead score.

"Their whole philosophy was don't give up the big play, see if Ben could read defenses and take what the defense gave them," said Ward, who had a 12-yard TD catch. "Ben did a tremendous job of it."

Can't think of any specific examples at the moment. Perhaps Cleveland's aggression got lost with me as Pittsburgh's ability to execute was dramatically better in the 2nd half.
