While it didn’t happen in the most ideal way, the Cleveland Browns’ long losing streak is over. The Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers finished their Week 1 clash in a 21-21 tie.
Welp.

Cleveland appeared to be in position to win. The defense forced a turnover deep in Pittsburgh territory. But a would-be winning field goal from Zane Gonzalez was blocked by T.J. Watt.
BLOCKED.

It was a bonkers ending that the Twitter had a lot of fun with. We start with the king of the hot takes.
The Steelers turn it over 6 times, the Browns once. But it ends in a tie. Baker Mayfield would've won this game for the Browns.

If you’re a @Browns fan and you are surprised by this, you’re probably not really a Browns fan. Which means you have time to get out. Ruuuuun.

This #Browns #Steelers game is a debacle.

Steelers Browns was like a barfight between two drunks who can barely stand with no bouncer to break it up and throw them out on the street

The only winner in the Steelers / Browns matchup is Leveon Bell

It may not have given us a satisfying result. But the game clearly was bonkers for all who watched.
