Here's a second and eight. This pass to Fannin. He caught it and he rolls in untouched. Harold Fannin Jr. with his 71st catch of the year. Second possession starts with Sanders looking down the field. Beautiful strike to Tillman. Had a big game for Cleveland. The pass was perfect into the secondary. They go for 42. First down with five minutes to go in the half. Pressure, tip, pick, Sawyer. Knocked down and saved by Jenkins. Highsmith forced the entire turnover. On the near side is Miles Garrett. And here they go with Hayward. Look at Connor Hayward racing down the sideline. That's a great call. Need 10 for a first. Rodgers pass. Deflected. And the Browns stop them. Four straight plays. Take a deep breath, Baltimore.

Three on the play clock. Rodgers out of the gun. Looking to the end zone and it is incomplete. Incomplete and no flag. The Browns have pulled off the upset. Oh, it was a manic Monday for sure. And it will be on Reaction Over Reaction Monday. And that's what we're here to do. Bob Pompeiani sitting aside from me because there's no Joe Starkey in the seat. So Austin said put the cardboard cut out. We don't have one of Joe, do we, Austin? no no joe cardboard cut out so we just have two of you bob well we're gonna soon take that one down because it's getting freaky on me when i look over there and i see myself so that that will eventually come down but uh joe has the day off and i'm sure he's wherever he is he's thinking about all the stuff that went on yesterday welcome to the pomp and joe show bob pompiani

along with City Limits, Austin Bechtold. And we want to tell you that fan Twitter is brought to you by South Hills Kia and Peters Township. You can visit them at SouthHillsKia.net. And the text line is brought to you by Edgar Snyder & Associates, a personal injury law firm where they always say there's never a fee unless they get money for you. And I'm sure the text line will be cranking up today. On a day the Steelers missed a golden opportunity, having the Browns, a three-win team, all you had to do is go there and win. And sure, they have a very good defense, but they have one of the worst offenses that have been decimated by injury. And yet, to start that game, you would have never known that.

Ten zip Browns after one quarter. And you could talk all you want about how, in the end, first quarter slow starts don't matter. That's not true. Those starts can kill you, especially when you have an offense that can't produce a touchdown. 10-0 start, and the difference of yardage at one point was 103-6 in favor of all people Shador Sanders, who I came away thinking that he is not going to be their franchise quarterback. I see too many things in his game that make me wonder if I'm Cleveland. They're going to have another high pick. They may redraft that same position or ride with Deshaun Watson. They got issues there. But, Austin, somehow, someway, Shadur Sanders throws up three dead quails. And one of them goes for a touchdown.

3:29

The other one is picked off. And then another one that should have been picked off wasn't picked off. I thought, how in the world does this guy win this game? If I had told you at the beginning of the game that Shadurah Sanders would have a better quarterback rating than Aaron Rodgers in this game, I don't think many people would have believed it. Well, the Browns did not win this game, Bob. The Steelers completely lost it. Like, Shadurah Sanders, I agree with you, is not the answer for Cleveland. On those first couple of drives, he played very well. But the amount of wounded ducks that he threw up there, you would think it was duck hunting season by what was spiraling through the air and falling to the ground because it didn't seem like there was a completed spiral for a majority of the game from Schroeder, especially in the second half.

4:11

No, he's not good. But this was a case of the Steelers, once again, Bob, losing to a... What's the best word to say it? Unproven, terrible quarterback and a terrible team in Cleveland. Another bus ride home, two and a half hours of thinking how you could lose to a mess of a franchise like this four years in a row.
