15. Sunday December 18th 1994 vs Cleveland Browns 17–7
The Steelers and Browns were bitter rivals in 1994, with the two teams going nip and tuck most of the season for control of the AFC Central. Late in the year the Steelers led the division by a game, and had a week 16 meeting with the Browns for not only the divisional title but home field in the AFC. They got both, beating the Browns by 10 with a defense that made life tough for Vinny Testaverde. The Steelers took a quick 14-0 lead, and then their D never let the Browns get close, as they put the touches on Cowher’s second AFC Central title in three seasons in Pittsburgh.

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!
