On Thursday Night Football, the 2-8 Cleveland Browns hosted the 8-2 Pittsburgh Steelers at Huntington Bank Stadium, hoping to end their two-game losing streak and their division rival's run of five straight wins. For the Browns to pull off the upset, they needed their offense to have a good outing, especially their wide receivers unit, led by Jerry Jeudy.
The 25-year-old was having an underwhelming debut season in Cleveland. In his first eight outings this season, he recorded only 33 receptions for 418 yards and one touchdown. However, he burst into life in the Browns' Week 11 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Jeudy finished the game with six catches for 142 receiving yards and a touchdown, his best game as a Brown. His stellar outing didn't amount to much, as Cleveland lost 35-14, but it was a silver lining on a rather dismal day.

The Browns hoped he'd have a similar impact on Thursday night against the Steelers to keep his team's minuscule playoff hopes alive and spoil the Steelers' quest to finish as the top seed in the AFC.
Jerry Jeudy stats vs. Steelers in Week 12
Here are Jerry Jeudy's numbers from the Browns' 24-19 win over the Steelers on Thursday Night Football:
- Targets: 6
- Receptions: 6
- Receiving yards: 85
- Receiving touchdowns 0
The wide receiver couldn't add to his touchdown total for the year but had a magnificent outing in the slow-clad game. He finished with six catches for 85 yards and had perfect synergy with quarterback Jameis Winston throughout the night.
Jeudy's biggest catch of the game came late in the fourth quarter. On a 3rd-and-7 play, the wide receiver found a pocket of space near the sideline, and Winston found him with a floated pass to move the chains.
Had the duo not connected to help the Browns move the chain, they would've had to settle for a difficult 45-yard field goal attempt. Instead, they kept the drive alive, and two plays later, running back Nick Chubb found the endzone to give Cleveland a five-point lead.
Russell Wilson and the Steelers threatened to steal the win with a Hail Mary, but the Browns defense held its nerve to secure the win and end Pittsburgh's five-game winning streak.
The shock result wouldn't have been possible without Jeudy's stellar display against one of the best defenses in the league.
