The veteran Browns have embraced the opportunity to teach their young teammates the meaning of the rivalry with the Pittsburgh Steelers.


The Cleveland Browns celebrate Thanksgiving weekend by welcoming their greatest rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to Cleveland Browns Stadium for Sunday’s AFC North Division battle.

The Browns have finished their regular-season series with the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals already and went 1-3 in those games. Having been a part of 14 Browns-Steelers games, eight-year veteran wide receiver/return specialist Joshua Cribbs knows what a win over Pittsburgh would mean.

“It would mean everything for the city and for our fans,” Cribbs said. “That’s why I’m going to be egging the guys on, not that they need it, but I’m still going to be saying, ‘You know what this means for our city. You know what this means. We lost a lot of games, but we can make it right.’ Our coaches are letting everybody know what it means because this rivalry is everything to us and our fans.”

Browns coach Pat Shurmur added, “It would be our third victory. It’s a division game and it’s a game played at home, so as we move forward, into our last five games, it would be something good to build on.”

According to Cribbs, winning the game also would be a step toward getting the Browns what they want, respect.

“You only get respect when you win,” Cribbs said. “They’re going to leave the game saying, ‘Yeah, they beat us up,’ but they move onto their season. You get respect around the league when you win games. It’s not good enough. We’ve got to start winning games. We’ve played hard. We got that. We do that. Now, let’s start winning games.”

Cleveland would love nothing more than to derail the Steelers season.

This game is not a gimme. Hope our guys play up to the level they played in Pittsburgh last week. Hopefully the STs have sorted out some blocking schemes and Batch will be able to control the ball better than an injured Leftwich.

Let's go Steelers!

The nail doesn't have a "rivalry" with the hammer. I'm not looking past this game or any other, but the Browns aren't "rivals".

The only rivalry with the fake Browns is how many James Harrison can knock out.
