The Browns-Steelers rivalry is one of the most storied rivalries in the NFL. With over 115 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. However, the rivalry has faded in recent years due to the Browns' uncompetitiveness since their reactivation in 1999 (Steelers are 19-3 since then). Nonetheless, the two divisional foes still have a natural rivalry due to the commonalities between the cities, proximity, etc. It is sometimes called the Turnpike Rivalry because the majority of driving route between the two cities is connected via the Pennsylvania and Ohio Turnpikes.
