The Steelers made steady progress with their first drive having started on their own 26.
Le'Veon Bell was making steady progress with his running game and made a couple of productive early carries.
Following a Ben Roethlisberger pass for 12 yards to Heath Miller, they were in range of a field goal but could not take advantage by converting it into a touchdown.
After a nearly five-minute drive, Shaun Suisham kicked a field goal from 47 yards to get the first points of the game.
The Browns made quick inroads with their first drive, Jason Campbell throwing a 24-yard pass to Josh Gordon.
The drive slowed down at that point but with a 49-yard effort Billy Cundiff was able to kick between the posts to level the score at 3-3.
In the second quarter it was tight, but the difference was Roethlisberger, who threw a good pass to Antonio Brown, who finished brilliantly between the defense, before a late kick by Suisham extended their advantage.
