The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns 27-6 to move to 6-2, extend their winning streak to four games and take sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Jaylen Warren rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown, and Rico Dowdle added a scoring run as Pittsburgh gained 201 yards on the ground. The Steelers led 20-6 at halftime and scored on Pat Freiermuth’s one-yard touchdown. Pittsburgh’s defense forced two fumbles and sacked Deshaun Watson eight times; Watson threw for 324 yards. The victory was Pittsburgh’s 23rd consecutive regular-season home win over Cleveland, tying an NFL record, and extended the Steelers’ streak of avoiding a season sweep by the Browns to 38 seasons.
