In addition to ending their playoff drought, the Browns won their first season finale against the Steelers since 1987.

Since their 19-13 win at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh in 1987, the #Browns are 0-12 in regular season finales against the #Steelers.

That 12-game losing streak just ended!

Long overdue!

Happy Playoffs, Cleveland!@TheOBR @Reflog_18 @BIGPLAY_dave @ScottSabolFOX8

With their 24-22 win over the Steelers, the Browns will head to Pittsburgh next week for a rematch. This game will be a bit different as the Steelers rested several players for this matchup. Cleveland will be looking to build off this win while hoping that the week off for the Steelers will impact their chemistry.

No matter the result, enjoy the fact that the Cleveland Browns are in the playoffs.
