The Cleveland Browns came out flat in their season opener at Heinz Field against the Pittsburgh Steelers which led to a 30-27 loss.

There were some positive signs for the Browns, who stormed back from a 27-3 halftime deficit, but their defense looked shaky out of the gate. Without a star under center, the Browns are going to need to get the most out of their talent moving forward.

In order to start improving, Cleveland should pound the rock with their impressive rookie running back duo in Isaiah Crowell and Terrance West, who combined for 132 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
