- The Browns–Steelers rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers. With 138 meetings it is the oldest rivalry and the most storied in the American Football Conference. The two divisional foes have a natural rivalry due to the commonalities between the cities, proximity, etc. It is sometimes called the Turnpike Rivalry or Turnpike War because the majority of the driving route between the two cities are via the Ohio and Pennsylvania Turnpikes. The two teams have been part of the same division or conference since the Browns joined the NFL in 1950; they played in the NFL's Eastern Conference from 1950 to 1969 (known as the American Conference from 1950 to 1952), the AFC Central from 1970 to 2001, and the AFC North beginning in 2002. As such, they usually play twice every regular season. The Steelers lead the overall series, 79–62–1. The teams met three times in the playoffs, with the Steelers holding a 2–1 advantage. (en)
