ESPN: Browns Face Backlash for Steelers Jab during schedule release.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are already being targeted by the Cleveland Browns.
Like many clubs, the Browns used a variety of gimmicks and videos to promote the release of their season schedule on social media after learning it on Wednesday.
This season, the Browns’ team account on X didn’t hold back when it came to the Steelers and used memes for their opponents. A burning trashcan moving along the street symbolized Pittsburgh. With over 3 million views and hundreds of comments, the post received a lot of attention.
One Cleveland Browns supporter remarked, “As a fan, I don’t know what is wrong with that.”
One Steelers supporter remarked, “Cleveland Browns are attempting to troll as if they’re not the laughing stock of professional sports.” “Lil bro, sit this one out.”
“This coming from a team that not only hasn’t won a Super Bowl, but hasn’t even been to one,” said another.
Antonio Brown, a former wide receiver with the Steelers, also made an appearance. In a direct jab at Cleveland’s $230 million quarterback Deshaun Watson for his off-field accusations, he placed the Browns logo next to a massage parlor.
At Crucial Points, the Browns Face Divisional Foes
The Browns have two AFC North games at the end of their schedule. Before traveling to Baltimore to play the Ravens, they will play their first game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cleveland’s last games of the season are against the Ravens and the Steelers in Week 17.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski stated, “You start the season against the division, and you finish the season against the division, preparing for that second season that you earn through these tough, hard-fought games.” Weather is a common factor in those division games that take place late in our calendar; they will typically be untidy, windy, and perhaps snowy. But opposing your division is always enjoyable.
On October 12, the Browns and Steelers will play their first game in Pittsburgh.
The Browns will go to London to play the Vikings.
On October 5, the Browns will “host” the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. It’s the franchise’s first foreign game since 2017.
Stefanski stated, “I think our players and coaches will love the opportunity to go put our game on display in a city like London, and that London experience is always really special.” “It’s a fantastic chance to face a playoff squad from the previous campaign. Coach (Kevin) O’Connell does a great job with his club. Therefore, we are aware that this will be a very difficult match. However, doing it on a global scale is thrilling.
