Insane footage shows shirtless fans braving the snow as flurry leaves it near-impossible to see Steelers-Browns
Cleveland Browns fans braved a brutal snowstorm Thursday night to watch their team take on archrival Pittsburgh, with some fans left shirtless despite the frigid temperatures.
One fan wearing a professional wrestling mask had taken off his shirt early, long before visibility was limited by snowfall, but refused to put the layer back on despite the icy weather.
Shortly afterwards, Prime Video was forced to add an image of every meter mark on the field because it was not visible due to the snow.
Dozens of Cleveland staffers with shovels made the dimensions feasible for the players on the field.
The shirtless Browns fans were rewarded for standing out in the cold for hours as their team defeated the Steelers 24-19.
It was a Nick Chubb touchdown with less than a minute left in the game that secured the win for the Browns.

Snow fell consistently at Cleveland’s Huntington Bank Field throughout the second half
Browns fans haven’t had much to cheer about this season, as the win improves the team to 3-8 while the Steelers fall to 8-3.
Still, a win over old rivals was enough to keep the crazed Cleveland fans in their seats, despite snow pouring into Huntington Bank Field for most of the second half.
The Browns have played their role as spoilers well, beating the Baltimore Ravens and Steelers in recent weeks as both teams pursue deep playoff runs.
The snow game was Russell Wilson’s first loss as Pittsburgh’s starting quarterback.
The Browns don’t play again until December 2, when they travel to take on the Denver Broncos.
