Steelers beat Browns 27-6 in AFC North clash
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 1 Nov, 23:02 · Archive
The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cleveland Browns 27-6 on Sunday to take sole possession of first place in the AFC North. The Steelers' defensive and rushing dominance continued a four-game winning streak. Jaylen Warren led Pittsburgh's rushing attack with 143 yards as the team accumulated a season-high 200 rushing yards overall. The Steelers recorded eight sacks and allowed only 14.3 points per game on average during their current four-game winning streak.
A notable moment came during the conversion after Pittsburgh's first score when Steelers guard Mason McCormick lifted 260-pound Browns edge rusher Jared Verse and body-slammed him to the ground. McCormick was penalized for unnecessary roughness. The play came after Verse had spent the week disparaging the Steelers, telling reporters on Wednesday that the Browns were 'about to make Pittsburgh ours on Sunday'.
The victory extended Pittsburgh's dominance in the rivalry. The Steelers avoided a season sweep by the Browns for the 38th consecutive season, described as the longest such run by any two teams in NFL history. Sunday's win also marked the Steelers' 23rd straight regular-season home victory against Cleveland, tying the league record for the longest such streak by one opponent against another.
