The Steelers have a powerful offense to work with, but they started their scoring with a special teams touchdown on Sunday against the Browns.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a ton of weapons on offense with Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and the return of Le’Veon Bell from his holdout. However, when you’re playing against the Cleveland Browns, it seems like you don’t even need to use them to score.

That’s exactly what happened on Sunday in the Steelers’ season opener, as they got off to scoring early on the Browns without their offense even needing to touch the field. After forcing the Browns to punt deep in their own territory, the Steelers blocked the attempt and picked up the ball in the end zone for a quick six.

The action was so crazy that the CBS camera team couldn’t even follow it and the broadcast scurried to find the Steelers celebrating in the end zone after their first points of the year.

The big concern for the Browns heading into the season opener was worrying about how they’d stop the Steelers high-powered offense, and now the worry may be how to even punt the ball against the team without giving up immediate points.

At least for a positive, the Browns get to send out DeShone Kizer early and often in the game to shake off any rookie mistakes and get some reps right away. He got some quick possessions to work with, and now has the experience of working from behind early in his rookie year, which he’ll likely have to do a ton as a member of the Browns.

No matter what, however, this play just goes to prove that the Browns are going to Browns, no matter what year it is.
