It will be trivia night material in Ohio and Pennsylvania forever. They might forget the numbers, of course. The Steelers had six turnovers. The Browns surrendered seven sacks. But they will remember how both teams missed field goals in overtime and had to settle for the same story, which could be sensed in the locker rooms after Sunday’s game....
