Browns, Steelers have huge injury reports to start Week 17; TJ Watt update

The Cleveland Browns have nothing but 2026 NFL draft order positioning on the line in Week 17, while the Pittsburgh Steelers are either set to win the AFC North or enter Week 18 in a do-or-die situation for the division. The Steelers could ruin the Browns draft plans, but the NFL might be interested in Pittsburgh losing this week to make next week more interesting.

Cleveland is a big home underdog for Week 17, but injuries could make things more interesting on both sides. Altogether, 28 players were listed on the first injury report for the week:

Steelers primed to ruin Browns 2026 draft plans

The Cleveland Browns close out the home portion of the 2025 regular season on Sunday when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Most years, the home game against Pittsburgh is a highlight, as even in the worst of times, the Browns tend to play the Steelers tough at home, having won five of the last six meetings at Huntington Bank Field. But, this year, the game may take on more of the feeling of a funeral.

The Browns are closing out yet another disappointing season, with their ninth year of double-digit losses under the 14-year ownership of Jimmy and Dee Haslam,...

Former Steelers star praises how Browns Shedeur Sanders has handled himself despite his followers and ‘grifters’

Former Steelers star praises how Browns Shedeur Sanders has handled himself despite his followers and ‘grifters’

Whether you think QB Shedeur Sanders is nothing more than an overhyped product of his Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders, or think he is the savior for the Cleveland Browns, everyone would agree that A) He’s struggled as a starter and B) his fans/followers are a bit over the top in their support. Sanders should have a role with the Browns in 2026, no matter what happens in the 2026 NFL draft.

A quarterback room of Sanders, Dante Moore, and Deshaun Watson would be a big upgrade, at least in terms of potential and draft pedigree, [to the one...

Browns sign former All-American, top-100 NFL Draft pick OL

Browns sign former All-American, top-100 NFL Draft pick OL

The Cleveland Browns have officially signed OG/C Kendrick Green to the active roster off the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad.

The Steelers originally drafted Green in the 3rd round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and he spent time at both center and guard for Pittsburgh. He started 15 games at center as a rookie, but then moved to guard in his second year. Green unfortunately lost the competition to start at guard to Kevin Dotson heading into the season and played sparingly as a rotational player in every game.

He was then traded to the Houston Texans in 2023, where he...

Browns make important Deshaun Watson decision

Browns make important Deshaun Watson decision

For many Cleveland Browns fans, the beginning of the end for the current roster came when the team traded for QB Deshaun Watson and gave him a huge guaranteed contract. Since that move in the 2022 offseason, Watson has played in just 19 games with a record of 9-10, 61% completion percentage, 3,365 yards, 19 TDs and 12 INTs.

Watson was designated to return from injured reserve at the beginning of December with a chance to play in the last few games of the season, especially if Shedeur Sanders struggled. With the 21-day deadline looming, reports came out that [Cleveland...

As rumors fly, Browns Kevin Stefanski, Andrew Berry should have aligned outcomes

With two weeks remaining in the 2025 NFL season, the Cleveland Browns are floundering to the finish line with the 2026 NFL draft and Myles Garrett’s pursuit of the single-season sack record the only glimmers of hope on the horizon. The Browns could play spoiler versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17, but that would only open the door for the Baltimore Ravens; no one wants that either.

Cleveland fans and rumors seem to be mostly in agreement on the following:

Cleveland Browns only have 2 Pro Bowlers this season, 3 rookie alternates

Cleveland Browns only have 2 Pro Bowlers this season, 3 rookie alternates

The 2025 NFL season is winding down, and for the Cleveland Browns, it has been an incredibly disappointing season, and not how it was drawn up in training camp. We now have an idea which teams Cleveland will play next year, but not how the roster will look.

This season, with back-to-back double-digit loss years, the Pro Bowl would seem like a miracle for any players to make the prestigious AFC list, but the Browns still have two Pro Bowl players.

DE Myles Garrett and CB Denzel Ward were both voted to represent Cleveland in this year’s Pro Bowl.

Browns defense torched early, then oddly shuts Buffalo down in Week 16 vs Bills

Browns defense torched early, then oddly shuts Buffalo down in Week 16 vs Bills

The Cleveland Browns’ defense allowed 209 yards of offense on the first three drives, all of which results in touchdowns for Buffalo. It was as bad as a defense could look, and I thought it would continue that way the rest of the game. However, over the Bills’ next seven drives, they totaled a combined 50 yards of offense, a pretty stunning turnaround that allowed Cleveland to stay in the game.

Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on defense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Cleveland Browns offense gets some drives going in Week 16 vs Bills

The Cleveland Browns’ offense looked better against the Bills this week, managing things even with their offensive line full of reserves. The Browns out-gained the Bills 294 yards to 259 yards, and won the time of possession battle 35:23 to 24:37. Cleveland also converted on 8-of-14 (57.1%) of their third down conversions.

Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Mamas, let your babies grow up to be NFL owners

Mamas, let your babies grow up to be NFL owners

It has been evident for several decades now that it is the NFL’s world and everyone is just living in it.

The league dominates the TV ratings, with 72 of the most-watched events in 2024, and Super Bowl LIX averaged 127.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched TV show ever.

Because the league delivers consistent ratings, it was able to sign an 11-year $111 billion media rights deal in 2021, which helped each of the league’s 32 teams cash a $432.6 million check in 2024.

Basically, if you are an NFL owner and you are not named Art Modell, you...
