The rubber match against the Pittsburgh Steelers is an opportunity. A chance to right a lot of the wrongs that occurred this year.

Pittsburgh clobbered the Cleveland Browns in Week 6, 23-9, back in mid-October. No self-respecting Browns fan wants to lose two games in a season to their hated division rivals. No, sir.

The NFL has not been and will probably never be content with its market share of viewers.

The Cleveland Browns knocked off the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season despite not playing well themselves for three quarters of the game. Losing TE Harold Fannin Jr. after his touchdown in the 1st quarter hindered an already limited offense, while LB Carson Schwesinger was limited as he gutted out what seemed to be a couple of injuries this week.

QB Shedeur Sanders struggled for much of the game, including his biggest flaw rearing its head again, but the Browns beat their rival, something some fans are celebrating despite [the loss of position in the 2026...

The Cleveland Browns knocked off the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season to continue their recent home dominance over their AFC North rival. An ugly game with some rain and wind impacting the play, QB Aaron Rodgers did everything he could to keep DE Myles Garrett from getting the single-season sack record, succeeding in that goal but losing the game and putting the AFC North title up in the air in Week 18 versus the Baltimore Ravens.

For the Browns, their fourth victory coming over their division rival is huge but impacts [their 2026 NFL draft...

It’s safe to say that Shedeur Sanders has had a pretty inconsistent string of starts in 2025, and one of his biggest flaws continues to be his natural inclination to force throws. Especially when it comes to throwing across his body.

There have been multiple instances this season where he’ll try to not only make an incredibly strenuous and dangerous throw to the opposite side of the field, but to completely covered receivers. This is exactly what happened on Sanders’ second interception today on the lob pass to Jerry Jeudy.

It was somewhat easy to see what he was trying...

-The Steelers got a field goal at the beginning of the quarter.

-Cleveland continued moving the ball, but they came up empty on two possessions: a turnover on downs instead of a 51 yard field goal, and then on the next drive, a tipped pass led to another interception.

Both LB Carson Schwesinger and TE Harold Fannin Jr. went down with injuries early on in today’s matchup against Pittsburgh. Schwesinger limped off the field after a tackle, and Fannin Jr. appears to have reaggravated the groin injury that’s been bothering him as of late.

Schwesinger looks to be in some discomfort on the sideline as he’s currently on the bike trying to keep his lower body warm. No official update has been released, but it appears to be related to his quad/thigh as of now. He recently ended up coming back into the game, but it’s evident that something’s...

Injuries have been an important story all week, which led to Cleveland elevating QB Bailey Zappe for Sunday’s matchup with Pittsburgh. A Sanders injury could lead to yet another quarterback change for the Browns this season.

The weather was a concern going into the game, particularly rain, but...

In a game that could decide the fate of the AFC North, the Cleveland Browns are but a footnote versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. A big chunk of the country will get to watch the Steelers come to town to face the Browns, with QB Shedeur Sanders hoping to stake a claim to the starting job moving forward and the Baltimore Ravens rooting for the home team.
