Madden 20 coins Sim: Otto Graham Leads Browns to Overtime Triumph Over Steelers Legends

There are not many rivalries in the NFL compared to Browns/Steelers. There aren't many better ones, either.

Saturday's sim, which you joined us for 1 PM ET, continued our streak of nail-biters with the other last-second finish. Sixty minutes were not sufficient to resolve this AFC North grudge match as the Browns needed to extract a narrow 23-20 victory, eventually hammering the Steelers on a 29-yard, walk-off field target courtesy of Phil Dawson. Graham served as the Browns' offensive catalyst, obliterating the Steelers' secondary to 415 passing yards, bettering his career-best of 401 (additionally against Pittsburgh) accomplished in 1952.

With Pittsburgh putting the clamps on Jim Brown, who worked to a dismal 33 yards on 18 rushing attempts (1.83 metres per carry), Cleveland needed a signature match from its own franchise signal-caller, and boy did he ever deliver. Throwing to a loaded pass-catching set of Newsome, Josh Gordon, Odell Beckham (that goose-egged in the winning effort) and Paul Warfield, Graham pulled out all the stops, effortlessly erasing a 14-point, fourth-quarter deficit.

Pittsburgh's vaunted"Steel Curtain" defense was no match for both Graham and his late-game heroics. Gordon the youngest player to lead the NFL in receiving yards, corralled a touchdown pass to play at the period, cutting the buy Mut 20 coins Steelers' lead to seven while redeeming himself for an earlier mistake. The Baylor alum was the intended goal on a second-quarter heave from Graham, but Rod Woodson jumped the route and snatched it for an interception at the Steelers' eight-yard-line.
