[Applause] the signal is touchdown [Applause] [Music] welcome back to five star matchup make sure you hit that subscribe button now and please consider joining our patreon or picking up some merch today the steelers entered this one as a resurgent three and three underdog on the road against the very same cleveland browns who walloped them on that fateful january night a few months back does the big brother have what it takes to punch back one more time biggest concern with the browns offense of course is stopping the run so here's nick chubb gashing the steelers immediately chance to get off the field on third and six but steelers can't get the stop and completions to enjoku and bryant get baker cooking before he can even remember he's playing with one arm today on first and goal though he remembers this fact mid play panics and chucks a duck over the head of hooper for one of his worst misses of the day on third and goal it's that deadly combo of numbers 90 and 97 combining to make a roast beef sandwich out of mama mayfield's baby boy and despite the early success the browns go off with a whimper of a three nice stand by the steelers d over to the real quarterback now and let's just take a minute to point out that ben roethlisberger was in fact 23 2 and 1 against the browns coming into today it's once again the rookie show for the steelers offense as ben hits mooth for an early conversion and naji slices through the defense for a good game bad ball by benjamin on third and 14 and the steelers are forced to punt it back again more of what the browns are known to do this time it's a cleverly drawn up screen because you know they're not leaving mayfield in the pocket to take hits and the browns are already out of the hole third and six and you might remember this guy from that wild card game i mean i know robert spelaine definitely does it's jarvis landry squeezing it for a huge conversion and it's right about this moment when you start to wonder if things are gonna head south but in the words of cam hayward nah son fourth and one to start the second and in a preview of what's to come on this one the browns attempt to assert their will but are denied by the pittsburgh steelers stout front with who else trent jordan watt coming from the opposite side of the formation to shut it down make no mistake both physically and metaphorically this play was absolutely gigantic wait is the steelers offense playing well a direct deposit to the bank followed by a little canadian style razzle dazzle that hits down the field to ben's number one man deontay johnson and it's time to slap on that tie because we are entering the business zone dressed in his finest three-piece suit it's ray-ray making the rare play play on a fancy reverse hidden deep within matt canada's safari hat but a ticky tack hold called on james pulls him back just a little bit because it's afc north football and it must be a miserable slog in both directions roethlisberger gets sacked and you can stick a fork in this once promising drive baz though is as always and we got ourselves a tie game look out though because baker woke up feeling dangerous so he drops waits and fires a rope that would have been too tall for yao ming followed by another incompletion on third and the steelers defense gets the job done fortunately for cleveland the steelers are equally enough and go right back off the field wanted to include this one because it's a nice sack by chris warmly who i thought had a very nice game today baker fires incomplete on third and it's back to the canadian army you shouldn't take a running back in the first round naji is making something out of nothing constantly and the best part is he's not even close to a finished product you know i'll tell you guys only want one thing and it's disgusting they'll stop at nothing to get creative play calling from matt canada and who can blame him honestly more something out of nothing here for the naj man and you just got to love seeing it great rush by terrible person on second down plants roethlisberger but the steelers have successfully drained the ton of the clock and gotten into position to take the lead it's not all bad oh wait i lied it is indeed all bad no it's actually terrible in one of the most inexplicable play calls of the mike tomlin era he goes with a fake field goal against a division opponent who's seen everything you have to offer over the years and if anyone was ever going to be aware of the same fake the steelers ran three years ago against denver don't you think it'd be a division opponent not only that but cleveland played it completely safe because of what a chip shot that would have been for boswell and lastly mike you went and got the most consistent and irreplaceable player on the team knocked out in a close game that could likely come down to a kick just an all-around bone-headed decision tj decides to pad the stat sheet real quick before the half and we head into the brakes still tied at threes [Music] we're back with the worst way to open the half and that's with an almost oops worst decision of the day for large benjamin who looks less like he's trying to throw it to deontay and more like he's playing dodgeball against the browns but luckily it falls harmlessly to the ground as my heart palpitates only slightly while they'd been limiting big plays all day the steelers defense decides it's time to allow two huge gainers the first to chub and second to landry and quicker than you can say tomlin squandered this one away the browns are knock knock knocking on heaven's door all day to throw for the one-armed man and baker loops one up to bryant and just like that the browns are themselves entering the business zone and it's cloudy with a chance of touchdowns devin bush apparently looking to meet the back in the hole on pluto runs himself completely out of the play and takes minka with him for the added insult and de-ernest the cat johnson scoots through for the game-changing score and without a kicker seven points might just be more than a one score lead because he's not about to lie down in the stadium he owns ben stands and delivers to his man deontay but a dump off to benny the snail sets up a crucial and nerve-wracking fourth and one for the steelers notoriously poor running offense because the more things stay the same the more they change that first round running back again makes just a little something something out of nothing nothing and gets the first what's that a combat catch for mr claypool i'm going to need a towel but seriously though holy run blocking batman everybody does their job in the man they call naj finishes off a gorgeous drive with a leap into the end zone and while i know the results aren't exactly mind-blowing it's starting to feel like matthew canada is figuring things out and you just love to see it great play call on the necessitated two-point conversion as ben tucks it himself but it's called back on a bit of a ticky tack hold by kung fu kenny and this stays a 10-9 game steelers great defense on the day continues to pay off when they get baker into a third and 12 and he completes for 11. stefanski seemingly baited into living in his fears by mike t questionably punts the rock back to the now in rhythm steelers offense with a chance for them to take the lead big kev takes another victory lap on his 2021 draft as naji storms through the d on another something out of nothing and we head into the final stanza more of the story of the game which was the steelers surprising ability to win at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and while doing it on defense isn't exactly shocking if they're able to start doing this on offense this team can be a legit competitor first and 20 after a penalty and the browns opt for the unconventional leave zach gentry completely alone defense and it goes as you might expect shout out gentry for becoming a contributor the last few weeks too like an old man with a few too many rolls of dimes large benjamin makes a quick deposit at the bank and don't look now but the pittsburgh steelers are threatening to take this game over on the road solid d by cleveland on first second and third down obviously puts the steelers in a ridiculously precarious all or nothing fourth and goal remember the preseason when ben said shh we want to keep mooth a secret well this is why with the game on the line the old gunslinger looks nowhere else but that gorgeous number 88 jersey and the second round rookie bales him and the team out with an absolutely unbelievable catch for six nice enough throw by roethlisberger to give him a chance but truly just an incredible catch by the mouth man that might have changed the course of the entire 2021 season for your pittsburgh steelers stupid pointless low percentage throw on the two and this one sticks at 15 to 10. i'll remind you without the fake kick could easily be 20 to 10 right now but i guess we can't play that game speaking of games mayfield gets some time to roll as dyson while it's not quite a yahtzee he hits a full house to najoku on a beautifully designed play by stefanski baker doing baker stuff on this one he scrambles out of the pressure and gets popped as he crosses the first down marker just to set his fans up for even greater disappointment he gets up celebrating as they roar because the football gods were baited into it that sets up our five star play of the game and three teams will make it you watch there's mayfield in second and eight and it's landry and he lost the ball at the end oh my goodness in just a huge moment with their backs completely against the wall the newest member of the steelers d and former brown joe schober knocks that some loose and who else but trent jordan watt is there to fall on it game changed oh by the way i hated these refs today how is this one not a pi you're allowed to turn your arms into a vest on the receiver because this is afc north ball you already know that dj is gonna come up just a smidge short of the first and it's time for the baker's dozen to take one last stab at this muffin me no you're nervous i mean you're the one already imagining how bad this show is going to be with a baker mayfield walk-off drive not sure how jarvis landry is still getting matched up on linebackers in 2021 but hey if he's not gonna wash his hands after all that movie theater popcorn i can't really be that upset about it huge drop from the normally solid landry second and ten mayfield waits and chucks it deep for the dude he normally doesn't even look at aka one hand mcgee aka odell beckham and it's a terrible throw that falls incomplete but another kind of meh personal foul gets called giving the browns renewed life yet again how about my man alex high smith but who if you're a browns fan one i don't know how you've made it this far into this video and two you might want to look away because this false start is one of the most killer penalties i've seen in a long time knocking this one back to a near insurmountable third and 16. because just like nothing good ever happens after midnight which by the way i disagree with because it's currently after midnight nothing good ever happens on 4th and 12th and baker fires this one incomplete and while you can tell your lungs to chill i'm gonna need your heart rate to stay elevated just in case because the browns do still have their full complement of timeouts a little run by naji to get the clock going on first sets up our first ever second five star players [Applause] [Music] i just couldn't separate the importance of this and the fumble neither play happens or affects the outcome without the other happening but i couldn't pass up the opportunity to bestow a first ever superlative on this team's now unquestioned wide receiver one mr deontay johnson if there was ever any lingering questions about number 18 i think it's officially time you throw those notes into the goblet of fire because this man is officially affecting games week in and week out pittsburgh salts away the rest of the clock and unbelievably and undeniably your pittsburgh steelers have won three in a row to get their heads back above water at four and three we all know the start of the season wasn't what anybody hoped for but now a month later this team is battling the offense is still a work in progress but it's gotten better every week especially the offensive line ben's play is leveling out and he hasn't thrown a pick since green bay oh and this defense just played its best game of the season we still don't know everything about the 2021 pittsburgh steelers but we do know that they just went into cleveland and beat the pants off the browns and the kicker well they had no kicker here we go i'll see you nameless gray faces next week if you like what we do please do what you can to share and support the show i hate to ask but if you can join the patreon that's the absolute best way to help out the show but even if you can't just keep watching and sharing [Music] you
