The Browns–Steelers rivalry is one of the most storied rivalries in the NFL. With 118 meetings and counting, it is the oldest rivalry and the most storied in the American Football Conference (AFC), surpassing any other rivalry in the conference by at least 5 contests. The two divisional foes have a natural rivalry due to the commonalities between the cities, their proximity, etc. It is sometimes called the Turnpike Rivalry because the majority of the driving route between the two cities is via the Pennsylvania and Ohio Turnpikes.
