20. Sunday September 12th 1999 at Cleveland Browns 43–0
The 20th best win of the Bill Cowher years was the trouncing of the Cleveland Browns upon their return to the NFL in 1999. The 99 season as a whole was not very good, and the Browns got their revenge on the Steelers later in the season with a stunning 16-15 win in Pittsburgh, but on this night at the Browns new stadium in front of a National TV audience, the Steelers crushed Ty Detmer and the Browns, forcing them at one point to go to rookie Tim Couch, who was picked off by Scott Shields in his first NFL pass.

Matt, I seriously think you’ve overlooked the 1993 MNF game vs the AFC back to back defending Conference Champs, Buffalo Bills. It was a statement game for Bill Cowher’s Steelers who were eliminated in the play-offs by the Bills @ Three Rivers. Final score : 24-0.

Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the comment – the 93 Bills game was on the long original list for sure and was one of the last ones to get taken off to get the list to 20 games. I think the reason I stayed away from it was due to the aftermath of that game. The following week they were beat up bad by the Broncos, and then lost the next Sunday night to the Oilers. Overall after beating the Bills the team went 3-4 and had to claw their way into the playoffs. Just seemed like the team was never the same after that win, which again is kind of why I kept it off the list. Thank you again for the comment!
