Browns vs Steelers: Looking back at the Week 8 Cleveland Loss

Taking a look back at the Browns Week 8 loss to the Steelers: What happened? What can be learned? Has much changed?

The Cleveland Browns laid an egg in Week 8 of the NFL season facing off with the Pittsburgh Steelers at home on Halloween. A game in which fans were excited about getting another chance to take supremacy over their divisional rival, after a win and a playoff victory in 2020, turned into a slog of a loss.

The loss dropped Cleveland down to 4-4 for the season and presented significant concerns for the team moving forward. Those concerns have mostly been validated over the team’s next seven games, leaving the Browns at 7-8 going into the Week 17 rematch with the Steelers.
