Browns upend Steelers in snowstorm on Nick Chubb’s second TD of game

Nick Chubb’s second touchdown gives the Browns a win over the Steelers

There’s snow place like home for the Cleveland Browns.

In an absolute whiteout on Thursday, Nick Chubb scored his second touchdown of the game on a two-yard run with 57 seconds left and the Browns escaped with a 24-19 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in an AFC North clash.

In the fickle world of the NFL, Cleveland is 3-8, and has defeated the Steelers and Baltimore Ravens at home while losing there to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Steelers are 8-3, and all the losses have come to teams that now have sub-.500 records. In addition to losing to the Browns, the Steelers have lost to the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys.

The Browns looked to be in control of the game, taking an 18-6 lead midway through the fourth quarter on an acrobatic run by Jameis Winston and two-point conversion.

However, prosperity was not going to be easy for the Browns. Pittsburgh scored two touchdowns in 102 seconds to take a 19-18 lead. The second touchdown, a pass from Russell Wilson to Calvin Austin III was set up after the Steelers picked off a Winston pass.

The Browns’ final drive was anything but an artistic success in the snow. It was nine plays over 45 yards and took 2:25.

On the drive, Cleveland made its lone third-down conversion attempt of the game. The Browns wound up 1-of-10 on third down. In a weird coincidence, Cleveland was 4-of-4 on fourth down.

T.J. Watt obliterates Derrick Henry as Steelers duel Ravens

T.J. Watt ran into Derrick Henry in the Ravens backfield

Someone is going to hear about forgetting to block T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

How did the Baltimore Ravens allow the great Watt as clear path to their star running back, Derrick Henry?

Watt knew exactly what to do and how to do it as he stopped Henry in his tracks and dropped him to the turf in the third quarter.

Calvin Austin’s 73-yard punt return gives Steelers the lead

The Steelers took the lead on the game’s first touchdown, a Calvin Austin punt return

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense set the tone by sacking Daniel Jones. The special teams then delivered.

The New York Giants punted to Pittsburgh’s Calvin Austin and he caught the football at the Steelers’ 27.

The speedy returner cut across the field to his left and went down the sidelines before making another cut inside.

At the end of the play, Austin had a 73-yard touchdown and the Steelers led 16-9 in the third quarter after the PAT.

George Pickens gets two feet down but not both feet: No Steelers TD

There is a difference between two feet and both feet in the NFL

Interesting and controversial call in the second quarter of Monday night’s New York Giants-Pittsburgh Steelers game.

George Pickens appeared to catch a Russell Wilson pass in the second quarter for a touchdown.

The wideout did have two feet down. The problem? His feet were the right foot twice and the left one never contacted the turf.

Incomplete pass was ruled.

Charlie Jones opens Bengals-Browns with 100-yard kickoff return

The Bengals had an early lead over the Browns thanks to Charlie Jones

The AFC North Battle of Ohio saw a touchdown on the opening kickoff.

Charlie Jones of the Bengals collected the football and took off. He wasn’t stopped and had a 100-yard kickoff return.

After the PAT, Cincy was out fast, 7-0.

Chris Boswell, defense lead Steelers over Falcons

Chris Boswell used his foot in multiple ways to help the Steelers win

The Pittsburgh Steelers are known for their defense. Chris Boswell is one of the best kickers in the NFL. On Sunday, they combined to lead the AFC North team to a 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

The Steelers won with Justin Fields starting at quarterback. Russell Wilson was out with a calf injury.

Pittsburgh had two sacks and two interceptions of Kirk Cousins to ruin his Falcons debut.

Boswell helped on two fronts. He made all six field-goal attempts to account for Pittsburgh’s points.

When Cameron Johnson was injured on one of his two punts, Boswell came on to do something for the first time in his career: Punt. He delivered a 43-yarder and has to be the NFL Special Teams Player of the Week.

Steelers tab Russell Wilson as starting quarterback

Russell Wilson starts at QB for the Steelers

Mike Tomlin has given the keys to the Pittsburgh Steelers offense to Russell Wilson.

In what was far from a surprise, the veteran will get the call when the Steelers open on Sept. 8 at Atlanta.

The second week is far more intriguing as Pittsburgh travels to Denver to face the Broncos.

Denver is the team that bailed on Wilson after two unsuccessful seasons.

We’re sure the Orange Crush will be in full throat booing the veteran.

49ers’ Aiyuk has option to remain in the Bay or move to Pittsburgh

In a deal that sources say is now green-lit, the veteran player has the choice to move to Pittsburgh or stay in San Francisco where he looks to get an extension from the 49ers, a team eager to keep their star player on the roster.

There has been a lot of speculation on whether the San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers will reach a trade deal involving wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, a 49ers’ 2020 first-round draft pick who has since logged 3,931 receiving yards and 269 receptions and was a critical player in the narrow overtime loss to the Chiefs Super Bowl LVIII.

In a deal that sources say is now green-lit, the veteran player has the choice to move to Pittsburgh or stay in San Francisco where he looks to get an extension from the 49ers, a team eager to keep their star player on the roster.

It is still unclear where Aiyuk will be playing in the future, but the experienced wide receiver has the choice between two teams eager to have him on the roster and out on the field at this juncture in his NFL career.

REPORT: Commanders sign former Steelers star WR Martavis Bryant

According to a report, the Washington #Commanders signed former Pittsburgh #Steelers star Martavis Bryant.

The Washington Commanders made waves on Tuesday morning by signing former Pittsburgh Steelers star wide receiver Martavis Bryant after their loss to the New York Jets in preseason action over the weekend.

Bryant, who was once considered to be among the NFL’s most exciting pass-catchers, has been in and out of the league for years after suspensions derailed his meteoric rise to stardom in the 2010s.

He was a member of the Dallas Cowboys practice squad last season but was released on May 8 shortly after the 2024 NFL draft.

The news of Bryant’s signing with Washington was reported by league insider Adam Schefter on Twitter:

It is unclear what Bryant’s role in the Commander’s offense would be if he makes Washington’s 53-man roster.

The veteran’s return to the NFL has the potential to be a major storyline heading into the regular season if he stands out during the Commanders’ remaining exhibition matchups over the next few weeks.
