The Cleveland Browns shocked the Pittsburgh Steelers with a surprise victory on Thursday Night Football in Week 12, moving to 3-8 on the season. The snow-covered game provided a stunning backdrop, while discussions about the team’s potential move to a dome briefly took over social media. Despite a disappointing season overall, this win offered some solace for both the team and its fans, especially given that it came against a bitter AFC North rival.

The Browns’ performance on the field, marked by second-effort plays and tough catches in challenging conditions, demonstrated that the team hasn’t given up on head coach Kevin Stefanski. This victory, along with earlier wins against the Baltimore Ravens, has positioned Cleveland as a potential spoiler in the playoff race. With several tough opponents remaining on the schedule, including playoff contenders like the Ravens, Steelers, Broncos, and Chiefs, the Browns are now a team with nothing to lose but everything to prove.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were actively pursuing a trade for wide receiver Christian Kirk of the Jacksonville Jaguars until an injury sidelined him in Week 8. Despite this setback, the Steelers continued to look for wideouts as the trade deadline approached, with players like Mike Williams of the New York Jets and Adam Thielen of the Carolina Panthers emerging as potential targets. Quarterbacks Coach Tom Arth remains optimistic about the team’s ability to generate big plays in the second half of the season, stating, “I think ‘Russ’ has played very well,” and highlighting Wilson’s knack for pushing the ball downfield.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns are grappling with a disappointing 2-7 record following a loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett, however, has refused to give up on the team’s playoff hopes. He believes there is still time to turn their season around, asserting, “Eight games left, we can turn it around and aim for a 10-7 finish.” Garrett feels a responsibility to lead by example, preferring to show his teammates the way to success rather than just instructing them. Despite his three sacks in the last game, he expressed frustration over the losses, emphasizing, “I’d rather have no sacks every game than continue losing the way we are.”
