The premise of this series is that as the season unfolded we saw what almost seemed like two teams, and we were never entirely sure which one was going to show up to any game, or even at any given moment in a game. We are going back through each game and looking for a play or a drive that illustrates both Steelers teams. So without further ado, here is:

Game 5 - Cleveland Browns (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/cleveland-browns) Final Score 28 - 10


General game overview: The big news of the day was the return of Ben Roethlisberger (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1630/ben-roethlisberger). All of the questions that had the commentators yammering away were answered. Would he be booed? (Answer: not as such, although a few people protested in front of the stadium.) Would he be rusty? (Answer: Some of his throws were incredibly on the money, some not so much, and he held the ball for longer than perhaps he should have part of the time. He made plays happen where no possibilities seemed to exist. He got sacked, escaped a lot of potential sacks, and got knocked down on a regular basis. Other than actually throwing the ball away once or twice, he pretty much looked like Ben.) Aaron Smith (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1633/aaron-smith) commented "It was nice to see him back out there, running around, running the offense. He’s so explosive. He can make big plays out of anything."...........
