Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns summary

The game began disastrously for Pittsburgh, as Chris Boswell missed a 58-yard attempt on the Steelers' opening drive. The Browns were then forced to punt on their first drive, which the Steelers "answered" by committing a turnover on downs. And yet the Browns could not capitalize, having to punt again.

Finally, Boswell ended the drought in the second quarter with a 48-yarder. But Nick Chubb took the lead for the hosts with a short touchdown rush. The Steelers then attempted to respond, but Russell Wilson lost possession on a sack, which Dustin Hopkins turned into a 34-yard field goal for the final scoring play of the first half.

The second half began with both teams exchanging turnovers as snow started falling - first a Cedric Tillman fumble that was recovered by DeShon Elliott, then a Steelers failed fourth down. The drought continued with a Browns punt, but finally ended with a Boswell 28-yarder.

The Browns responded via Jameis Winston running for six, then finding David Njoku for two. After that, Jaylen Warren responded with a rush - the first time the Steelers reached the end zone. They did it again via a Wilson pass to Calvin Austin III after forcing a sack fumble on Winston.

The Steelers’ defense then made another major play, intercepting Winston to regain possession. However, the ensuing drive ended in a punt - a particularly bad one that covered only 15 yards, allowing the Browns to enter opposing territory quickly and Chubb to score another touchdown. On the last drive of the game, Wilson failed to complete a Hail Mary pass, confirming the upset.
