The Cleveland Browns are preparing for a Week 14 rematch against the Pittsburgh Steelers as they travel to Acrisure Stadium. Having already defeated the Steelers and Ravens this season, Cleveland aims to prove they can once again topple division leaders despite the challenges of a difficult campaign.
The Browns enter this matchup following a thrilling yet frustrating loss to the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Jameis Winston set a Browns single-game franchise record with 497 passing yards, tossing four touchdowns but also surrendering two pick-sixes and a third interception. The performance was historic in both highs and lows, as Winston became the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for 450 yards with multiple pick-sixes in a single game.
Wide receiver Jerry Jeudy turned in a remarkable performance, hauling in five catches for 235 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown. Cleveland’s offense produced 552 total yards, but costly turnovers undermined their efforts.
Cleveland will look to replicate their dominant showing from their earlier matchup against Pittsburgh. In that snowy affair, Myles Garrett anchored the defense with five tackles and three sacks, reaffirming his status as a Defensive Player of the Year candidate. The Browns’ defense effectively neutralized T.J. Watt, holding him without a sack and stifling Pittsburgh’s offense in key moments.
Now sitting at 3-9, Cleveland’s playoff hopes are all but extinguished. However, the team is determined to finish the season on a high note, with Winston’s consistency under scrutiny as the Browns assess their future at quarterback.
A strong showing against the AFC North-leading Steelers could provide a valuable morale boost for 2025.
