Mike Tomlin has owned the Browns since he became Pittsburgh's coach in 2007. But his playoff record suggests that the Steelers are more beatable than Cleveland has made them look during his tenure.
Tough beat, but not Tomlin’s first. Pittsburgh has also lost as home favorites to the Tim Tebow-led Broncos , the Joe Flacco-led Ravens and the Baker Mayfield-led Browns under his guidance. And the roster of quarterbacks Pittsburgh has beaten in the playoffs since 2010 might be worse. Who’s impressed by wins against A.J. McCarron’s Bengals , Matt Moore’s Dolphins and Alex Smith’s Chiefs ?
The answer for now is Cleveland fans, who still view Pittsburgh as its big brother and Heinz Field as a hostile environment. Sixteen straight losses at a stadium can have that effect. But if Tebow, Bortles and Mayfield can win playoff games there, why can’t Deshaun Watson win on Monday night? The Steelers’ history against Cleveland only wields as much power as the city gives it. The new Browns want to wash the old stink off, and doing so will require wiping the sheen off Pittsburgh’s logo.skewed mediocre
. Tomlin’s pair of Super Bowl appearances are over a decade old, and his latest playoff win is about to turn seven. So there’s no reason to fear the voodoo that has ailed the Browns in Tomlin’s house for 14 straight regular seasons.
