Pittsburgh beat the Browns 27-6 on Sunday and moved into first place in the AFC North at 6-2. Cleveland fell to 5-3. It was the Steelers' 23rd straight regular-season win over the Browns at Acrisure Stadium, which ties the NFL record for consecutive home wins over one opponent.
Defensive end Jared Verse had said Cleveland would "make Pittsburgh ours." Instead, the Steelers sacked Deshaun Watson eight times, and the Browns failed to score a touchdown for the first time this season. They also converted just 4 of 13 third downs.
