Pittsburgh lost an important game against the division rivals Cleveland Browns. It's the third passer on the depth chart, Charlie Batch, who played on Sunday.
Batch, even though he knows the playbook, struggled throwing three picks. The Steelers lose five fumbles in this ball game. The last turnover came on the last play of the game, helping Cleveland to defeat Pittsburgh.
Steelers' thrower completes 20/34 for a total gain of 199 yards, no score and 3 interceptions, if the passing game was not shiny, the running game doesn't work really better as Pittsburgh's 4 halfbacks combine only 49 yards and 1 touchdown.
In the same time, Browns' rookie tailback Trent Richardson ran for 85 yards including a 15-yarder for the score.
The other rookie, quarterback Brandon Weeden completes 17/26 for 158 yards, he adds 1 touchdown but also 1 interception.
