NFL Game Summary - Cleveland at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Steelers cruised to a win Sunday and appear to be getting the early help they need if they intend on sneaking into the postseason.

Le'Veon Bell ran for a touchdown and set a long-standing franchise record as Pittsburgh kept its slim playoff hopes alive with a 20-7 victory over the Cleveland Browns at a rain-soaked Heinz Field.

The Steelers (8-8) can become the second team to reach the playoffs after beginning a season with four straight losses, but they need the Dolphins, Ravens and Chargers all to lose.

Bell totaled 96 yards from scrimmage and amassed 1,259 on the season, giving him the franchise rookie record previously set by Franco Harris in 1972.

Ben Roethlisberger threw for 179 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions for the Steelers, who have won 10 consecutive home games against the Browns.

Cleveland (4-12) finished another forgettable season with seven straight losses. Jason Campbell completed just 23-of-41 passes for 240 yards with a touchdown and an interception, while Josh Gordon ended his huge campaign with a relatively quiet seven catches for 82 yards.
