Browns Stifle the Steelers

In what proved to be a loaded upset victory for the Browns, the Steelers find themselves faced with an early playoff game against Baltimore for a trip to the post-season on the line. In a disappointing loss for Pittsburgh, the Steelers loss leads the AFC North to a Week 18 winner-takes-all game. The Browns got to play spoiler to the Steelers, keeping them from clinching the playoffs, but unfortunately, Myles Garrett remains 1 sack away from the record.

The Cleveland Browns (4-12) surprised everyone by coming out hot and maintaining that lead through a pretty stagnant game. Shedeur Sanders had a decent outing going 17/23 for 186 yards, 1 TD and 2 interception; Dylan Sampson led rushing yards with 27 on 11 carries, and Jerry Jeudy led receiving with 5 catches for 54 yards. The Cleveland defense was able to cower the Steelers offense and keep Aaron Rodgers on unstable ground as he was desperate to not let Garrett sack him.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7) find themselves in a much harder position now since they took the loss to Cleveland, and instead of possibly resting for Week 18, they are preparing for what is looking to be a difficult matchup. Aaron Rodgers struggled to get the offense going on Sunday, going 21/39 for 168 yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions; Jaylen Warren led rushing going 64 yards on 12 carries; and Pat Freiermuth leading receiving yards with 63. The Pittsburgh defense did their best to keep them in the game, but only scoring 6 points proved to not be enough in the loss.
