The Cleveland Browns are 3-1!
In the Week 4 edition of "Thursday Night Football," the Cleveland Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers in an old-school AFC North clash. The Browns have won two straight games after being dismantled by the Jacksonville Jaguars in their season opener. Both of those wins came via late game-winning touchdown passes, followed by the defense bowing up and holding the opponent down on the final possession. Pittsburgh also enters at 2-1, having won a pair of one-possession games sandwiching a rather embarrassing loss to the New England Patriots . Pittsburgh's defense has been quite good, while its offense came alive for the first time this past weekend against the division rival Cincinnati Bengals . Which of these two teams will improve to 3-1 and at least temporarily take over first place in the division? We'll find out soon enough. Before we break down the matchup, here's a look at how you can watch the game. Pittsburgh's offense looked pitiful in both its season-opening win against the Atlanta Falcons and its Week 2 loss against the Patriots, but things changed quite a bit this past week against the Bengals. In Weeks 1 and 2, the Steelers gained a combined total of just 499 yards. That was 350 through the air and 149 on the ground. They produced 31 first downs and turned the ball over three times. In Week 3 alone, they gained almost as many total yards (411), and that was nearly true both through the air (273) and on the ground (138). They turned it over once, with an interception going through a receiver's hands and landing in a defender's lap. Cleveland's defense hasn't quite been as torn up over the last two weeks as it was by the Jaguars in Week 1, but it's not like it's been a shutdown unit. The Browns gave up 313 yards to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense that has looked fairly ordinary this year (they had 282 yards against the Bengals and 243 against the Vikings ), and gave up 360 to the Panthers while benefiting from three different turnovers on downs. The Steelers will once again be without Rico Dowdle here, which means it'll be the Jaylen Warren show in the backfield. Warren played 90% of the snaps last week and tallied 20 touches for 176 yards. Though it could have had plenty more if a long touchdown run hadn't been called back or he hadn't slipped in the open field on what would have been another long touchdown. Cleveland has allowed opponents to gain 4.5 yards per rush this season, while the Steelers have gained 4.3 per rush themselves. Pittsburgh has run for more yards with each game, however, going from 58 yards to 91 to 138. Aaron Rodgers has completed only 58.4% of his passes this year at a minuscule average of 6.2 yards per attempt, and most of that production came last Sunday against the Bengals. He has struggled to connect with receivers downfield, finding much more "success" in the underneath zones with checkdowns to Warren, Pat Freiermuth , Darnell Washington and more. The Browns have generally been stingy against yards after the catch, allowing opponents only 278 so far and a below-average 4.3 per reception. The Steelers will need to find ways to break tackles underneath to create yardage if Rodgers isn't going to hit on his deep balls. Deshaun Watson has not played nearly as badly this year as in his previous seasons with the Browns. He's actually completed 68.2% of his passes at 7.2 yards per attempt, with five touchdowns against just one interception. He's led game-winning drives in the fourth quarter of each of the last two games. The Browns have struggled to run the ball so far, checking in at 3.5 yards per carry, which ranks 29th in the NFL . Those numbers are propped up by Watson's scrambling, however. Quinshon Judkins leads the backfield with 42 carries (no other back or receiver has more than four) and has averaged just 3.0 yards per tote. His best game came in the opener, at 3.9 per carry. The Browns cannot run the ball whatsoever. The Steelers played extremely strong defense against the Fal [... truncated ...]

Nick Chubb to sign one-day contract and retire with Browns
Nick Chubb is headed back to Cleveland. The Browns announced on Thursday that Chubb will be in the building on Friday to sign a one-day contract and retire as a member of the franchise. Chubb announced his retirement back in August. While Chubb spent the 2025 season with the Texans, he played the rest of his career with the Browns. The No. 35 overall pick of the 2018 draft, Chubb registered 6,843 yards with 51 touchdowns for Cleveland — landing at No. 3 on the franchise’s all-time list behind Jim Brown and Leroy Kelly. Chubb is one of just four players in NFL history to retire having averaged 5.0 yards per carry on more than 1,000 attempts. The other three are Brown, Joe Perry, and Jamaal Charles. Chubb is set to address the media in Cleveland on Friday afternoon

The Cleveland Browns had a disappointing Week 1 loss, with 4 winners and many losers
Nick Chubb officially called it a career over the weekend, announcing his retirement after eight seasons in the league. Chubb had a tremendous start to his career, averaging at least 5.0 yards per carry in each of his first five seasons with the Browns. But a devastating knee injury suffered early in 2023 helped cut his career short. Kevin Stefanski — who was Chubb’s head coach for five years with the Browns — called the running back “special” when asked about the former Georgia Bulldog in his Wednesday press conference. “I don’t have a vote for Hall of Famers, but [he’s a] Hall of Fame person, Hall of Fame player in my book,” Stefanski said. “Fun to coach — not hard to catch, just easy to coach. Always did everything the right way. Not a very loud person, but man, there’s such power in leading by example and always doing the right thing. “And then just the way in which he ran the football and how physical he was with that breakaway speed, I had a front-row seat to some incredible individual efforts. And I say individual, now [he had] great blocking and that type of thing. But just the way he was able to break through tackles and some amazing moments that I was lucky, and blessed, and fortunate to be a part of.” Chubb finished his career with the Texans, appearing in 15 games with nine starts in 2025. In all, he rushed for 7,349 yards with 54 touchdowns in his 100 career games. He finished his career having averaged 5.0 yards per carry — a remarkable feat for the modern NFL
