For me, it all depended on the era. In the late 80’s / early 90’s, when the Steelers weren’t doing well, I’d consider the season a success if we swept the Browns. By the time we reached the Killer B’s era and the Browns were merely punching bags in the North, I would be happy if we swept the Bengals. Nowadays, I’m happy if we sweep the purple rat birds. And this year we could sweep them three times. I can live with that.
