The Pittsburgh Steelers had a chance to wrap up the AFC North with a win against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. But time and time again, Pittsburgh failed to capitalize on its opportunities, despite Jack Sawyer and the defense providing several chances to do so. Now, the playoffs essentially start a week early for the […]

CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett had some choice words for the Pittsburgh Steelers after Sunday’s 13-6 upset.
Garrett thinks the Steelers were more worried about preventing him from setting the NFL single-season sack record than actually getting the win.
“To an extent, I thought they were more worried about keeping me away from Aaron (Rodgers) than getting the win. That’s what came back to bite them,” Garrett said.
Next Gen Stats had Garrett chipped on 41.0% of his pass rush snaps today against the Steelers, which is the eighth-highest rate for an edge rusher in a...
CLEVELAND — Aaron Rodgers loves Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback giddily said so when the receiver, Rodgers’ former Green Bay Packers teammate, switched into black and gold last month.
In Valdes-Scantling, Rodgers was getting a target with ample professional experience, unlike, say, Roman Wilson. That appreciation might never be more evident than it was as time wound down in Sunday afternoon’s road loss to the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers trailed 13-6 with 29 seconds to go, but had the chance to strike.
On second-and-goal from the Browns’ 7-yard line, Rodgers worked from an empty set, while Valdes-Scantling lined up...
Adam Thielen thinks the offense should take the blame for the Steelers’ loss to the Browns. It’s hard to disagree. After posting just six points in a 13-6 defeat against Cleveland, Thielen knows his side of the ball didn’t make the few plays that were needed to win. “As an offense, the most frustrating thing […]

Aaron Rodgers’ frustration wasn’t just captured by the CBS Sports cameras. It was felt by the Cleveland Browns’ players who stopped the Pittsburgh Steelers’ passing game all Sunday afternoon. Speaking to reporters after the Browns’ 13-6 win, DL Alex Wright didn’t just see that frustration. He heard it. “Oh, he was,” Wright told reporters via […]

Deep down, you probably knew this was coming. As soon as the Baltimore Ravens put the finishing touches on the Packers in Green Bay last night, you could just kind of feel it. The Pittsburgh Steelers had everything to play for while the Cleveland Browns were playing out the string. What we got was another classic Mike Tomlin “play down to the competition” game that resulted in a 13-6 loss.
Tomlin’s team came out looking like a bunch guys who had really been hoping for a meaningless game. When the Ravens did their jobs, the Steelers struggled to answer the...

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to struggle on the shores of Lake Erie against the Cleveland Browns. After Sunday’s 13-6 loss, the Steelers are now 1-6-1 against the Browns in Cleveland since 2018.
It’s also another awful Browns team that the Steelers lost to. The 2025 Browns were the worst of the bunch, coming into Sunday’s came with a 3-12 record.
The Steelers also tied a dreadful NFL record in the loss.
The Steelers are winless (0-4-1) in their past five games against teams entering 8+ games below .500, tying the longest such streak in NFL history, according to Doug Clawson...
DK Metcalf got suspended for the final two games of the regular season. He made a poor decision, and not only did it cost him, but it could cost the Pittsburgh Steelers as well. When Metcalf got suspended, they still hadn’t locked up the AFC North. Now, they’ve failed to beat the Cleveland Browns. That’s […]

CLEVELAND — With the game hanging in the balance, Aaron Rodgers went Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s way for a third time in a row. The Pittsburgh Steelers watched as the result zipped between the veteran receiver’s hands and crashed to the ground.
Valdes-Scantling felt the officials swallowed their whistles when it mattered most. He thought that Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward didn’t give him a fair crack at getting to the fourth-and-goal jump ball with moments to go.
“That was definitely interference,” Rodgers said afterward.
“I went to go attack Ward, went to double-move him. I got a pretty clean release on...
Despite having the chance to clinch the AFC North with a win or a tie, the Pittsburgh Steelers just could not get the job done against the Cleveland Browns. They had a chance, with four straight shots at the end zone inside the 10-yard line. Yet throughout the day, the Steelers just weren’t able to […]

With wide receiver DK Metcalf suspended and Calvin Austin III out with a hamstring injury, the Week 17 matchup against the Cleveland Browns was supposed to be a game in which second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson would get an opportunity to bounce back from being a healthy scratch in recent weeks. Pittsburgh Steelers head coach […]
