Los Pittsburgh Steelers cayeron 19-24 contra los Cleveland Browns en el Thursday Night Football de la semana 12 de la temporada regular de la NFL. El partido fue un clásico juego de la División Norte de la Conferencia Americana y si a eso le sumamos la tremenda nevada que cayó en Cleveland la situación fue todavía más alocada durante la segunda mitad.
"Quiero empezar por felicitar a los Cleveland Browns, creo que lo hicieron muy bien esta noche, fue un juego muy peleado e hicieron más jugadas necesarias para ganar durante 60 minutos. Nos costó mucho trabajo encontrar ritmo temprano en el partido, tuvimos muchos castigos antes de que se centrara el balón, hicimos jugadas grandes pero no las suficientes para asegurar la victoria", fueron las palabras de Mike Tomlin ante los medios de comunicación.
El partido arrancó muy lento por ambos equipos, el primer cuarto nadie se hizo daño, Chris Boswell falló un gol de campo y no fue hasta el segundo cuarto en el que nuestro pateador abrió el marcador con un gol de campo de 48 yardas. Los Browns contestaron una anotación de Nick Chubb, la primera de dos que el corredor de Cleveland sumó durante la noche del jueves. El marcador al mediotiempo fue de 3-10 a favor de los locales.
¿Se acuerdan de lo que platicamos en la previa de este partido? Mencionamos que Myles Garrett era la principal amenaza para nuestra línea ofensiva y se cumplió. Garrett sumó tres capturas en la primera mitad del encuentro. En total los Browns tuvieron cuatro sacks en el TNF.
La nevada se soltó con todo en el tercer cuarto, "football weather" le dicen algunos románticos. Los Browns pusieron una ventaja de 12 puntos arrancando el último cuarto. A lo que los Steelers respondieron y logran darle la vuelta al marcador con una carrera de tres yardas de Jaylen Warren y posteriormente tras recuperar un balón suelto Pittsburgh se puso adelante con un pase de Russell Wilson a Calvin Austin de 23 yardas.
Una serie después los Steelers todavía lograron frenar a Cleveland con una intercepción que nos acercaba a la victoria pero la ofensiva no pudo hacer mucho con el balón y sufrió de un tres y fuera que solamente consumió un minuto del reloj de juego.
Cleveland entró al campo y logró anotar con una carrera de Nick Chubb, los Steelers todavía tuvieron 57 segundos y un tiempo fuera para intentar darle la vuelta al marcador pero la unidad ofensiva no tuvo éxito y el equipo sumó su tercera derrota de la temporada.
Hay que darle rápido la vuelta a la hoja porque el mes de diciembre arrancará con otro partido divisional en contra de los Cincinnati Bengals.
Here we go!
