The Pittsburgh Steelers are facing intense scrutiny from NFL fans, after a series of suspicious plays gave the Steelers a 26-24 victory over the Cleveland Browns yesterday. The Browns had been leading for most of the game, but a late interception from Steelers’ star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sealed the win for Pittsburgh.
The NFL has launched an investigation into the game, as there has been speculation that the Steelers may have manipulated the outcome. Sources close to the investigation have said that some of the Steelers players may have been involved in a conspiracy to ensure that the Browns did not win.
The NFL’s investigation into the matter has been further complicated by the fact that many of the Steelers players have been very tight-lipped when asked questions regarding the game. The Steelers have also been uncooperative with the league’s investigation.
This has caused a great deal of suspicion to arise around the Steelers organization, specifically as to why they would go to such lengths to ensure that the Browns did not win. Some have speculated that the Steelers were trying to maintain their superiority over the Browns in the standings, as a win for the Browns would have given them a season sweep of the Steelers and put them ahead of the Steelers in the final standings for the first time since 1999.
Only time will tell if the NFL’s investigation into the matter will uncover any evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the Steelers, but one thing is for certain: their reputation is on the line.
