Ben Roethlisberger added 162 yards passing and a score.Pittsburgh emphatically ended Cleveland's four-game winning streak and extended the Browns' skid at Heinz Field to 17 and counting.The Browns (4-2) were unable to get anything going against a defense that sacked aching Baker Mayfield four times, picked him off twice and chased him late in the third quarter with the game out of reach.
The NFL's top rushing offense managed 75 yards on the ground — 113 below its season average — as the Steelers dominated both sides.
