PITTSBURGH (93.7 The Fan) - Steelers owner Art Rooney II has released a statement following last night's brawl in Cleveland.
"As an organization, we are disappointed with what occurred last night near the end of our game against the Cleveland Brown. The actions of the Players involved were not something that should be part of any football Game.
Our players, coaches and everyone in the Steelers organization understand that we must always maintain composure, no matter what happens. After a hard-fought game between two rivals, it is a shame that the game ended that way."
