Steelers avoid losing record

The Pittsburgh Steelers were able to avoid a losing season for the first time in almost a decade with a 24-10 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Ben Roethlisberger completed three touchdown passes to Antonio Brown, Leonard Pope and Plaxico Burress to finish the Steelers' season on a high.

The Steelers' defense continued their strong season, forcing four turnovers during the fixture.

Thaddeus Lewis threw one touchdown pass and one interception in his debut for the Cleveland Browns, as the third-string quarterback filled in for Brandon Weeden and Colt McCoy.

Despite their eighth win of the season, the Steelers miss out on the playoffs for the first time since 2009, having won just twice in the last six weeks.
