Nick Chubb scores two touchdowns in display of resilience

Former Georgia running back Nick Chubb shows he’s back in his prime despite a the serious knee injury he suffered last year

A few weeks ago, former Georgia Bulldog running back Nick Chubb returned to action for the Cleveland Browns after 13 months of recovery. He continues to overcome the odds, and Thursday gave Georgia fans a sign he’s back in his prime.

Chubb suffered a nasty knee injury in his last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. In Cleveland’s 24-19 win over Pittsburgh, he was the focal point of the Cleveland Browns offense because the field was covered in snow. He ran for 59 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team rostering several Georgia Bulldogs, on Thursday Night Football.

Despite former Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston committing two turnovers, the 3-8 Browns were able to stun the 8-3 Steelers thanks to Nick Chubb’s performance. Chubb’s performance personified his major comeback.

Nick Chubb posted his first two touchdown game since a 2022 Week 8’s matchup vs. the Cincinnati Bengals.

 

 

Steelers fans react to heartbreaking Week 12 loss

Fans of the Black and Gold offer mixed reactions and play the blame game on social media in response to the Steelers’ Week 12 loss.

What a difference four days make!  Following the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ Week 11 victory over the Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday, fans believed the team was in the midst of something special in 2024. However, after the team’s Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns just four days later on Thursday Night Football, a mix of emotions has swept over the Steel City.

There is plenty of blame to go around, from HC Mike Tomlin’s fourth-quarter calls, to poor officiating, to Corliss Waitman’s botched punt, and even mother nature for the cruel and frigid weather conditions of the Week 12 contest.

While Pittsburgh remains atop the AFC North, the Week 12 loss reopened the door for the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional race, as they are now only half a game behind Pittsburgh.

Fans are understandably upset with the Steelers seemingly taking several steps back on both offense and defense, but overall, mixed reactions remain constant. Here are some of the most passionate reactions on social media regarding the Steelers’ Week 12 loss.

Jameis Winston joked that he ordered the Browns’ snowy win from Amazon

A Jameis Winston original!

One thing Jameis Winston is going to do is crack jokes, and he had them ready after the Browns defeated the Steelers in the snow Thursday night.

Seemingly, every time Jameis gets behind the camera, anything he says sounds like its straight out of an SNL skit — his postgame interview after Thursday night football was no different. The Browns had just pulled off an impressive win against the Steelers (one that included snow so heavy that it was nearly impossible to see field goals), and naturally, Jameis was hyped.

So, of course, as he was running off the field to the locker room, he dropped these impeccable lines. “Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow,” he said. “The Cleveland Browns got some [more] wins, baby…I just got off Amazon, and I’m probably about to go and order a dub off Amazon that’s [gonna] get here to my house by nine o’clock tonight.”

Greg Newsome rips George Pickens after fight with 3-word tweet

This escalated!

George Pickens had a rough night with the Pittsburgh Steelers losing to the Cleveland Browns in the snow.

That wasn’t just because his squad took the L, but because the Steelers wideout got into a fracas with Browns cornerback Greg Newsome II as the game-ended on an incomplete Hail Mary attempt.

Seems silly to start up a fight at that point in the game, but it happened.

SNOW GAME! Here’s 12 photos from Browns-Steelers

Newsome, meanwhile, posted a tweet with three words after the game: “Fake tough guy.” Definitely sounds like that one was aimed at Pickens after their little melee.

Steelers WR believes weather saved Cleveland Browns from Week 12 loss

George Pickens blames the snowy elements for the Steelers’ Week 12 loss but fires shots at the Browns after their AFC North showdown.

In what could only be described as a winter wonderland for Cleveland, and a frozen disaster for Pittsburgh, the Steelers’ Week 12 loss was nothing short of heartbreaking.

Where does one begin with such a gripping and saddening tale to explain what unfolded? Well, if you asked Steelers WR George Pickens what went wrong with the Steelers’ efforts, he would have a one-word response: nothing.

Pickens was asked how much the snowy elements impacted Pittsburgh’s chances of winning in Cleveland, and the wide receiver didn’t mince words. Not only did Pickens completely shift the blame for Week 12’s loss to the weather conditions, but he also decided to troll the Cleveland Browns organization as well.

Fans could clearly see the elements taking their toll throughout the Week 12 contest. Pickens and the Pittsburgh Steelers will have their opportunity for revenge, in hopefully better weather conditions, when the Cleveland Browns travel to the Steel City in Week 14. However, the Steelers will first need to get past the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13, on December 1, at 1:00 PM EST.

Bengals LB adds more fire to Week 13 rivalry game against Steelers

Germaine Pratt guarantees a Bengals win in Week 13, but can the Steelers use his bold words as fuel to secure a crucial AFC North victory?

Be careful what you wish for, Cincinnati. It appears that Bengals LB Germaine Pratt is having a pretty boring, and obviously insecure, Week 12 bye week, as the AFC North linebacker is guaranteeing a Week 13 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Recently, Pratt and the Bengals have fallen under scrutiny for their awful performance through 11 games, sitting just one game away from last place in the AFC North standings, with a record of four wins and seven losses.

With the Bengals’ playoff hopes seemingly nonexistent, Pratt is holding on to the faint hope of a miracle finish in the final six weeks of the season.

Can the Steelers silence Pratt and the Bengals, further contributing to Cincinnati’s potential three-game losing streak with a Pittsburgh victory? Only time will tell, but it’s clear the Steelers have extra motivation to bounce back from their Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Fans can look forward to watching a Russell Wilson-led offense take on Pratt and the Bengals defense in Week 13 on December 1 at 1:00 PM EST.

On top late: Chubb’s second score gives Browns late lead

Nick Chubb, in the first game back against the Steelers since his devastating injury, put the Browns on his back

The Cleveland Browns take the lead late against the Pittsburgh Steelers as running back Nick Chubb scored his second touchdown of the game.

With under a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, Browns Chubb rushed in from two yards out for his second touchdown of the game, giving Cleveland the lead. The Browns attempted a two-point conversion, but the pass to receiver Jerry Jeudy fell incomplete, making the score 24-19.

The drive featured key plays from Jeudy, including a fourth-down conversion on a five-yard reception and a 15-yard catch on a crucial third down. Running back Jerome Ford chipped in with two carries for eight yards, while Chubb added nine yards on the ground.

Jeudy has been the standout player once again, catching all six of his targets for 85 yards with multiple clutch plays. Chubb has carried the ball 20 times for 59 yards and two touchdowns, while quarterback Jameis Winston has thrown for 219 yards with one interception. The Browns defense will need one last stand to seal the upset in the blizzard.

Adding on late: Winston rushes in to extend Browns lead in fourth

The Browns are playing AFC North football in primetime and aren’t going away without a fight

The Cleveland Browns had a brief lead before two quick touchdowns by the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it was due to heroics from quarterback Jameis Winston.
Early in the fourth quarter, Winston scrambled from two yards out for a touchdown to extend the lead to two possessions. Cleveland elected to go for the two-point conversion and converted with a completion to tight end David Njoku, making the score 18-6 with 12:16 remaining in the game.

The drive started strong with a 29-yard completion to recently elevated tight end Blake Whiteheart. Cleveland converted two fourth downs on the drive, including the touchdown and a four-yard rush from running back Nick Chubb. Tight end Jordan Akins also contributed an 18-yard catch to get the team down to the five-yard line. Despite a drop from Njoku earlier in the drive, the Browns managed to find the end zone again.

The snow has intensified into a full-on blizzard in downtown Cleveland. Winston hasn’t posted eye-popping numbers but has managed the game effectively given the challenging weather conditions. The Browns’ defense will aim to hold strong for one more quarter and secure the upset.

Cedric Tillman injury vs Steelers: Latest news on Browns WR

Browns WR Cedric Tillman is dealing with a head injury. Here are the latest updates.

Cleveland Browns starting receiver Cedric Tillman left the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tillman went to the medical tent during the waning seconds of the third quarter.

Tillman suffered a head injury from a big hit at the first down marker on a third and medium. Tillman fought through multiple Steelers defenders before getting injured. Tillman was escorted to the medical tent immediately and ushered to the locker room for further evaluation in this game.

Tillman had an up-and-down game against the Steelers. He made a big catch and run with his first target before fumbling the ball deep into the Steelers’ territory. The Browns managed to stop the Steelers offense from scoring on the turnover. Tillman is a good player, and he needs more experience. Hopefully, he can rejoin the team soon enough.

The Cleveland Browns are leading the Pittsburgh Steelers on primetime 18-13.  The Browns must hold off the Steelers for another quarter to give their home crowd a much-needed victory.

The snow made it nearly impossible to see if Chris Boswell hit a field goal during Steelers-Browns

Can you see if the football goes through the uprights?

The heavy snow falling in Cleveland on Thursday night had a definite impact on the Amazon broadcast of the Browns’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The snow was coming down so hard on a Chris Boswell field goal attempt that you really couldn’t see whether or not the Steelers kicker actually made it or not.

Amazon NFL broadcaster Al Michaels was able to guide the fans at home on what happened, but even he had a difficult time trying to track where the ball was.

We’ve seen snowy games in the NFL before, but the falling snow obscuring a field goal attempt for the fans at home feels pretty wild to us.
