![]() The Browns once again responded, this time using 6:35 to go 11 plays for 80 yards and scoring a touchdown to make it 23-14. With the ball back, the Steelers were again not able to do anything with it, going three-and-out. That drive lead to a Steelers punt not long after and the Browns responded by scoring a field goal on their next drive. Late in the third quarter, a 35-yard pass from Trubisky to Jaylen Warren was called back due to a penalty on Chukwuma Okorafor. (And the garbage time defensive touchdown didn't hurt.) Turning point The Steelers were never able to recover from those two stops, which brings us right to our turning point of the game. What sealed the deal for the Browns was the defense keeping the Steelers off the field and forcing back-to-back three-and-outs toward the end of the game. ![]() I was also impressed by Cooper, who had a rhythm with Brissett and finished the game with seven catches for 101 yards and a touchdown. Since 2018, he has 24 100-yard games, the most in the league during that span. Chubb absolutely demolished the Steelers defense, putting up 23 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown. Speaking of the run game, let's talk about Chubb. The Browns came off a loss where all three phases of the game struggled and bounced back with a game where everyone had a helping hand in the win.īrissett looked confident and composed and when needed was able to use his rushing abilities on short-yardage situations. They are now 0-6 when Watt is on the sidelines. Watt and historically do not win without him. The defense was unable to keep up with Chubb, one of the best running backs in the NFL, who recorded another 100-yard game to his resume. The Steelers offense clearly has a lot it stills need to work on. On offense, Diontae Johnson was the player of the night for the Steelers, with six receptions for 63 yards and a fumble recovery, but did have some key drops. Trubisky has not shown enough this season, with some asking if he should be benched for rookie QB Kenny Pickett. Why the Steelers lostīefore heading into tonight, Trubisky did not have one game with over 200 yards passing, but just made it tonight, with a stat line of 20-for-32 for 211 yards and no touchdowns. Browns rookie kicker Cade York missed a PAT but made up for it by making his 34-yard field goal attempt late in the third quarter to give Cleveland the lead for good. Boswell missed a 53-yard attempt on Pittsburgh's second drive. Heavy winds affected both kickers during the first half. A penalty on their ensuing onside kick, however, allowed the Browns to milk the game clock down to nine seconds. Pittsburgh, after doing little for most of the second half, was able to mount a late scoring drive that made it a six-point game with 1:46 left. Pittsburgh's offense started the second half with another promising drive that ultimately fizzled shortly after crossing midfield. The Steelers took their first lead moments later when Mitch Trubisky scored on a 1-yard touchdown run. A balletic, one-handed catch by rookie George Pickens set up Harris' touchdown.Ĭleveland countered with David Njoku's touchdown catch from Brissett with 8:58 left until halftime. The Steelers responded with Najee Harris' 5-yard touchdown run to start the second quarter. The Browns put an exclamation point on the win with Denzel Ward's defensive score on the game's final play.Īfter slow starts by both offenses, the Browns - spearheaded by a 37-yard run by Chubb - struck first on Jacoby Brissett's 11-yard touchdown pass to Cooper, who finished the night with 101 yards on seven catches. ![]() Cleveland also received a big night from Amari Cooper, whose 32-yard catch on a third-and-1 play set up Chubb's 1-yard touchdown that extended the Browns' lead to 23-14 with 9:29 left. ![]() The offense was fueled by Chubb, who finished the night with 113 yards on 23 carries. Trailing 14-13 at intermission, the Browns took control of the game by scoring of their first two drives of the second half. ![]() Pittsburgh, fresh off its own disappointing Week 2 loss, fell to 1-2. Four days after their gut-wrenching loss, the Browns rebounded by defeating their longtime rivals at home on "Thursday Night Football." Aided by Nick Chubb and a strong second half by their defense, the Browns posted an 29-17 victory to move to 2-1 on the season. ![]()
