PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Cleveland Browns are bottom feeders no more.
Baker Mayfield threw for three touchdowns and the Browns collected their first playoff victory in 26 years with a 48-37 romp over Pittsburgh.
Kareem Hunt added two touchdown runs for the Browns.
Cleveland was playing without several high-profile players and head coach Kevin Stefanski due to COVID-19.
It hardly mattered as the Browns raced to a quick 28-0 lead then turned aside a Pittsburgh second-half rally.
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger passed for 501 yards and four touchdowns but also threw four interceptions.
