This was the Browns-Steelers rivalry: Hall of Famers Jim Brown and John Henry Johnson trading 100-yard games. Terry Bradshaw shaking off Joe "Turkey" Jones' violent sack to torment Cleveland with touchdown passes. Bill Cowher vs. Bill Belichick. This is the Browns-Steelers rivalry: James Harrison tackling quarterbacks, as well as a Browns fan who unwisely runs onto the field. The Steelers' regulars rarely playing four quarters. Scores of 31-0, 34-7, 27-7, 41-0. A turnpike rivalry that's become a turnpike rout.

The Steelers got by for one night, barely, without a running game. What could be more difficult: getting by the first half of the season without All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu. Polamalu, a game-changing talent who might be one of the NFL's most irreplaceable players, sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during a blocked field goal in Pittsburgh's 13-10 overtime victory over Tennessee on Thursday night.
