If someone asks you where in the U.S. the Cleveland Browns have the most fans at the moment, the right answer would be Pittsburgh. And as crazy as this may seem, since the Steelers and the Browns are bitter division rivals, there is a simple reason for this. Pittsburgh needs Cleveland to beat the Baltimore Ravens in order to get to the playoffs; hence the “Browns mania” among the Steelers’ fans.

Even some Steelers’ players decided to switch team allegiance on a temporary basis, including one of the team’s best players, wide receiver Antonio Brown. In order to show his support for Cleveland Browns ahead of Sunday, Brown decided to make a slight modification to his jersey.

The 30-year-old Pro Bowler decided to tape the letter “S” to each one of his No. 84 jerseys, and share them on Twitter.

Other Steelers’ players are joining the cause and trying to inspire the Cleveland Brown to a win as well. Cornerback Joe Haden, who spent the first seven years of his career in Cleveland, started reaching out to some of his former teammates, trying to motivate them.

“I’ve talked to a couple of them, giving them some motivation,” – Haden told the team’s official website.

In order for Pittsburgh to reach the playoffs, they need the Browns to beat the Ravens, while they need to win or tie with the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. There is another way for Steelers to get to the postseason, but this option is highly unlikely since it requires Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts to tie.
