2016 Steelers 27 vs Browns 24 OT

The Steelers, resting key starters with their playoff spot secured, struggle early, punting on their first 5 drives. Backup QB Landry Jones settles in after halftime, finishing 24 of 37 for 277 yds, 3 TDs and an INT. Down 14-7 late in the 3rd, Heyward-Bey makes a game-changing play, chasing down an INT return and forcing a fumble near the goal line. Jones recovers in the end zone, preventing a TD that would have put the Steelers in a deep hole. The defense steps up again in the 4th, holding to force a FG after allowing a long drive, keeping it a one-score game. Late in overtime, they come through on 3rd down near midfield, forcing a punt that sets up the game-winning drive. Jones then leads an 11-play march, capping it with a 26-yd TD to Cobi Hamilton.
