Ben Roethlisberger's career at Heinz Field has been particularly challenging for Browns fans, with Cleveland winning just twice there in over two decades. As Big Ben prepares for what could be his final home game, there's an opportunity for the Browns to both spoil his farewell and damage Pittsburgh's playoff hopes.

While the Browns' last victory in Pittsburgh was memorable - eliminating the Steelers in the first round of playoffs in early 2021 - this matchup presents different challenges. The stadium will be packed for Roethlisberger's final home game, complete with the trademark "Renegade" rally song, and Cleveland won't have Baker Mayfield's previous stellar performance to rely on.

The Browns have experienced countless heartbreaks over the years, from blocked kicks to dropped passes and defensive collapses. However, this game offers a chance for redemption - an opportunity to avoid a season sweep by the Steelers and give Cleveland fans a memorable victory over their long-time rival quarterback.

Despite the tendency to expect disappointment with the Browns, as captured in Zendaya's MJ quote "If you expect disappointment, then you can never really be disappointed," this matchup represents a chance to change the narrative and give Browns fans something to celebrate in their rivalry with Pittsburgh.
