Tar Heels in NFL: Ebron has hard time dealing with reduced role, memory of playoff loss to Browns

Posted Oct 28, 2021
In Eric Ebron’s mind, it will be a revenge game for his Pittsburgh Steelers when they visit Cleveland on Sunday. In a wild-card game last season against the Browns, Pittsburgh's season ended with a 48-37 defeat. Ebron has dealt with a reduced role this season with seven catches and a rushing touchdown, but he’s doing his best to make the most of it. (Tar Heel Tribune)
