The Pittsburgh Steelers need to take care of business on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals in order to have a shot of making the playoffs, but they also need a lot of help from the Cleveland Browns. Their fans were well aware of that, and they found a creative way to show it.
As sports business reporter Darren Rovell pointed out, some Steelers fans were spotted walking into Heinz Field with Antonio Brown jerseys that were altered to show support for the AFC North rival Browns.

With Brown ruled out for Sunday’s game due to a knee injury, the timing of the jersey tweak was actually perfect. If the Steelers want to make the playoffs, they need to win their own game and have the Browns beat the Ravens in Baltimore.
We’ve seen sports fans alter their jerseys in funny ways in the past, but you know Pittsburgh fans are desperate when they’re tweaking their apparel to make it pro-Browns.
