Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth hasn't forgotten what Browns fans did to his mom - Steelers Wire

There's never any love lost when it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, but tight end Pat Freiermuth has a perfectly acceptable reason for disliking those pesky rival fans.

According to Freiermuth, Browns fans disgustingly threw beer on his mom when he scored a touchdown during his rookie year.

"Cleveland fans threw beer at my mother in my rookie year after I scored a touchdown," Freiermuth told reporters. "I'm not too big a fan of them, but it's all good."

Freiermuth added that it's "all for the love of the game" and that his mom enjoyed the encounter. But that shouldn't excuse the horrendous actions of those Browns fans.

With the Steelers headed to Cleveland for their Week 4 Thursday Night Football matchup, hopefully Freiermuth can score a touchdown or two to even things up against the Browns fandom.
