You've got a deadline, you need to versions of your copy, one for a quick 1 sentence summation and another simple tweet.

Let's see how it's done, shall we.

On a cold, windy day in Cleveland, the Pittsburgh Steelers used a dominant run game and ravenous pass rush to get the best of the winless Browns 24-9.

Nice. Good imagery, nice graphic and emotive words in there. Now for twitter, lets get to the meat of it.

Steelers get the best of winless Browns.

Perspective!

Let's see this again with the Colts, shall we Coach T? Think you can keep your team halfway focused for 4 ******* days?

Nice Wig. One suggestion, don't use the word " ravenous ". Too close a word to ravens. Try "unrelenting ". Unless it's an article about crushing rat team. I don't want to think about them. 😝

Twitter: The killer B's carve up the "Luckless" Colts
 
Colts luck run out and get gobbled up by the Steelers offense, dinner is served with a Steelers victory.
 
Un-Luck-y Colts lay too many eggs on Turkey day to spoil the Steelers' feast.
 
Stupid blue horseshoe team gets gutted like a deer on the first day of buck season. Gutted,strung up and bled out.


Steelers pull shoes off of Colts.
