NFL fans couldn’t believe the Steelers snagged a pick-six on the Browns on the first play of the game

The Pittsburgh Steelers got off to the best-possible start to their Monday Night Football game against the rival Cleveland Browns. Like, the best-possible start. It’s not even close.

On the first play for the Browns offense, Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson threw a pass to tight end Harrison Bryant.

The ball hopped in and out of Bryant’s hands, in and out of safety Minkah Fitzpatrick’s hands and finally into the hands of Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith, who ran it into the end zone for a touchdown.

The Steelers offense didn’t even have to do anything to get off to a hotter start than the Browns offense did. This was just brutal for Cleveland.

This was an absolute disaster for Cleveland, who saw the most unlucky bounce of all time right into the hands of a division rival for a score.

When you’re in primetime, you don’t want a blunder as bad as this. If you’re the Steelers, you’re as excited as you could possibly be about a September Monday night game as possible.
