If I don't, it's cool because you're not going to get the ball every time." If I get the ball, it's cool.

The Steelers have heard him loud and clear, with Trubisky "I'd love to get George more involved," Canada said. He believes it's not a matter of failing to execute, but a lack of chances to make a difference, telling reporters this week he was open "90 percent of the time" in Pittsburgh's Week 2 loss to New England. ... But I'm open as soon as I get off the line." I'm always (going to) have a step and always feel like, 99 percent of the time, I'm open even though the ball gets there in the air and (the defender) gets time to catch back up.

Cleveland's defense wound up scoring a very notable touchdown on a failed trick play by Pittsburgh.

However, a lower-scoring second half kept the score in check for the under to potentially hit. Pittsburgh had the ball deep in their own territory down six with nine seconds left in the game, so for their final play they called a lateral to try and pull off a miracle victory. Normally, that play will only matter to fantasy football players who have the Browns defense on their team. That was until the Steelers final play went so poorly as to push the score over the official line, breaking the hearts of under bettors everywhere and bailing out the over bettors. It did not go as planned, as the Steelers ultimately fumbled the ball at their own goal line, leading to the Browns recovering the ball in their own endzone for a defensive touchdown.
