Steelers rush for 160 yards in first half, lead Browns 20-6
The Steelers are running all over the Browns and have a 20–6 lead at halftime. Pittsburgh has rushed for 160 yards, averaging a whopping 8.9 yards per carry to build a lead. Jaylen Warren — who is celebrating his 28th birthday on Sunday — has 102 yards on 10 carries, including a 51-yard rush. Rico Dowdle has also performed well, gaining 57 yards on seven carries with a touchdown. The only thing that’s hurt the Steelers’ rushing average is the end of the field. Pat Freiermuth was tush pushed into the end zone for a 1-yard score at the end of the first half. The Steelers got on the board early with Dowdle’s 9-yard touchdown, which came after Deshaun Watson lost a fumble on Cleveland’s second possession. Chris Boswell, who missed a 57-yard field goal on Pittsburgh’s first drive, hit from 20 yards and 37 yards in the second quarter. Aaron Rodgers has completed 9-of-16 for 95 yards. The Steelers’ defense has stifled Watson, who has completed 9-of-13 passes for 107 yards. He’s been sacked four times. The Browns had -1 yards of total offense at the end of the first quarter. The club finished the first half with six first downs, 113 yards, and 2-of-6 on third down. On the injury front, Browns cornerback Tyson Campbell is questionable to return after going down late in the second quarter. The Steelers will have a chance to double up, as they’ll receive the second-half kickoff

Jordan Love passes Brett Favre for multi-touchdown games to start season
The Packers have had three starting quarterbacks since Brett Favre replaced Don Majkowski in Week 3 of the 1992 season. Favre is in the Hall of Fame, Aaron Rodgers will get in on the first ballot, and Jordan Love is still crafting his legacy. Love has had some special performances, and some solid runs. His three-touchdown performance on Thursday night gives him the second-longest streak of games with two or more touchdowns to start a season in Packers history, with eight. Rodgers set the Packers record in 2011, with 15 straight games of two or more touchdowns. Favre had seven straight to start the 1995 season. Both won the NFL MVP in those seasons. Love is currently at 25-1 to win the 2026 MVP award. On Thursday night, he completed 30 of 41 passes for 288 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. For the year, Love currently leads the league in attempts (312), completions (192), yards (2,246), and touchdown passes (16)

Browns trying to end stunning 38-year drought against Steelers in Week 8 AFC North showdown
The Cleveland Browns will be heading to Pittsburgh this weekend to try and pull off something they haven't done in nearly 40 years: A clean sweep of the Steelers. The Browns beat the Steelers back in Week 4, and if they on Sunday, that will give the Browns their first sweep of the Steelers since 1988. That is not a typo. It has been 38 years since the Browns won both regular-season games against the Steelers. The last sweep was so long ago that there's only one player on either team's roster who was even alive when it happened and that's Aaron Rodgers, who at age 42, is the oldest player in the NFL this year. The Browns finished the sweep with a win Nov. 20, 1988, which came just two weeks before Rodgers' fifth birthday. That was so long ago that the Browns and Steelers played in a division that no longer exists (AFC Central). Since that sweep back in 1988, the Steelers have absolutely dominated the series. The two teams have played 69 times in the regular season since the sweep and the Steelers have gone 52-17 in those games. One reason why this series has been so lopsided is because the Browns can't figure out how to win in Pittsburgh, which is where this week's game will be played. The Browns' last win at Acrisure Stadium/Heinz Field came all the way back in 2003 when Tim Couch was their starting quarterback. Since then, playing in Pittsburgh has been a never-ending nightmare for the Browns. During Cleveland's 22-game losing streak, there have only been six games that have been decided by seven points or less. Every other game has essentially been a blowout. If the Browns can pull out a win, not only would they pick up their first sweep since 1988 and first win in Pittsburgh since 2003, but they would also improve to 6-2, something they haven't done this century. If you want to stump an NFL fan with some trivia this weekend, just ask them if they know the year of the last time the Browns started 6-2 Since the start of the Super Bowl era in 1966, the Browns have only started the season with a 6-2 record ONE time and that came in 1994 when Bill Belichick was still the head coach. That gives the Browns the NFL record for fewest 6-2 starts since 1966. The Jaguars and Panthers have more 6-2 starts than the Browns, even though those two teams didn't exist until 1995, and the Texans have more 6-2 starts than the Browns, even though they didn't start playing until 2002. The Browns have gone 28 seasons without a 6-2 start, which is the longest active drought and the second-longest drought in NFL history (The Browns actually hold the record for longest drought, going from 1966 to 1993 without a 6-2 start). Basically, it's been a long, painful history for the Browns. The Browns' defense has been good enough to keep them in games over the past few years, but now, they have an offense that's also coming up with big plays, and that's been the big difference. For one, they have two unstoppable rookie receivers in Denzel Boston (372 yards on the season) and KC Concepcion Jr. (317 yards). Those two have combined to become just the second rookie duo in NFL history to have at least 300 receiving yards each through a team's first seven games. The Browns raised some eyebrows around the NFL when they selected those two in the NFL Draft back in April and that's mainly because of when they selected them. Concepcion was the 29th overall pick in the draft while Boston was the 39th overall pick, which made the Browns the first team since 1996 to take two receivers in the top 40. In the Browns' Week 4 win over the Steelers, the rookie duo caught fire: They combined for nine catches and 154 yards. Concepcion caught a six-yard pass on Deshaun Watson's final completion of the game that set up Andre Szmyt's game-winning 56-yard field goal. Watson also deserves some credit for Cleveland's resurgence. He's led a game-winning drive in all five of Cleveland's wins, making him just the third quarterback since 1970 to lead a game-winning drive in [... truncated ...]

Deshaun Watson vs. Steelers' suffocating secondary: How pivotal AFC North duel will be won
The AFC North is on the line in Week 8 as the Steelers (5-2) face the Browns (5-2). This matchup features the third-best combined record entering a late-season game in 50 years. The Browns have a chance to sweep the Steelers for the first time since 1988. The game's outcome could hinge on how Deshaun Watson performs against the Steelers' strong defense, especially after Watson's recent resurgence, including his first 300-yard passing game as a Brown

Packers vs. Panthers: Green Bay, Carolina both look to get back into win column on 'TNF'
In the Week 8 edition of "Thursday Night Football," the Green Bay Packers play host to the Carolina Panthers . The Packers enter this game off a disappointing loss to the division rival Detroit Lions , in a game they had multiple chances to win. Green Bay had won three in a row to salvage its season after a blowout loss to the Atlanta Falcons the last time the Packers played on Thursday night (Week 3), but they hit a bump in the road last week. Now, they're looking to make it four wins in five games. The Panthers are coming off an embarrassing blowout loss at the hands of the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers . Carolina was blasted 43-13 last week and was never truly competitive, falling down 17-0 early. However, the Panthers still sit at .500 after climbing that hump with their win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6. Now, they try to get back to their winning ways. Which of these two teams will get back in the win column? We'll find out soon enough. Before we break down the matchup, here's a look at how you can watch the game. The Panthers limped to their worst offensive performance of the season last week, managing just 266 yards, 15 first downs and 13 points while turning the ball over four times. They had previously gained at least 340 yards in every game, gained at least 24 first downs in four of five, and scored 25-plus points in four of five. Bryce Young returned to poor form on Sunday, going only 14-of-27 for 163 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, while also fumbling once. He's now completed south of 52% of his passes in back-to-back games and south of 55% in three of his last four, with the only exception being a game against the decrepit Lions pass defense. Young got off to a hot start to the season , but he's cooled off a bit as of late. The Packers have been a tough matchup for opposing quarterbacks this year. They're eighth in net passing yards per attempt, and they've yet to allow more than 296 net passing yards in any game this season. They've also allowed just nine touchdown passes against nine interceptions. Jonathan Gannon has been good at limiting what opponents can do through the air, for the most part. It is, however, worth noting that the Packers faced Carson Wentz , Geno Smith , Michael Penix Jr. , Jalon Daniels and Tyson Bagent before getting Dak Prescott and Jared Goff over the last two weeks. So they haven't exactly done this against a murderer's row of opponents. Green Bay has gotten pressure at a below-average rate — no surprise with Micah Parsons still sidelined. Instead, the Packers have gotten by against the pass with sticky coverage and timely plays on the ball. Keisean Nixon and Brandon Cisse have been solid on the outside. Javon Bullard has played well in the slot, and the safeties are providing quality help over the top and in the middle of the field. Carolina's passing game is mostly built outside the numbers with Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker , though Young has thrown over the middle more this season than in past years. It'll be up to the skyscrapers on the perimeter to win their one-on-one matchups here in order to give Young room to throw, though he should have more time than he did last week thanks to Green Bay's relatively weaker pass rush. In the run game, the Panthers lean on Chuba Hubbard , who is averaging 4.8 yards per carry in a workhorse role in the absence of Jonathon Brooks . Hubbard only got seven carries in the negative game script last week, but you can likely expect the Panthers to try to "Establish The Run" here as a way to get their offense back on track. Green Bay has allowed only 3.9 yards per carry this season, though, so it might be tough, especially with right tackle Taylor Moton now on the sidelines. The Packers welcomed Josh Jacobs back to the lineup last week but still found themselves entirely unable to run the ball against the Lions. They totaled just 60 yards on the ground, with Jacobs himself carrying 11 times for only 36 yards. Gr [... truncated ...]

Aaron Rodgers claims 2020 CBA talks included possibility of a full week of international games
Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has the most diverse passport in the NFL, regardless of his trip to Egypt during mandatory minicamp in 2024 or wherever he goes to do ayahuasca. Rodgers, who didn’t play in a foreign country until 2022, has now started games in England, Ireland, and France. After Sunday’s 16-10 win over the Saints in Paris, Rodgers told reporters that the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement could have included a full-blown international week, with 16 games in 16 foreign locations. “The reach of the league is fantastic, and I think I always wanted to be a part of it,” Rodgers said, via Garrett Podell of CBS Sports. “I think it’d have been phenomenal for the game. Now, the owners wanted to push for 17 games for the extra revenue because they care so much about player safety, but it would have been nice .” Seventeen regular-season games and a full week of international games are not mutually exclusive, on the surface. However, even though Rodgers apparently would have been in favor of a full-blown international week, plenty of players would not be thrilled about playing one game per year in another country every year. (Even though 16 international games seems inevitable in the next CBA.) Rodgers still wants to see an international week, even as he finishes what he insists will be his final NFL season. “I think there are great opportunities for expansion in those things,” Rodgers said. “It’d be awesome to see them, you know, have an international week because I think it’s great for the game and the expansion of the game. And I wish there was a mandate, though, from the league [that] they would have to open up their pocketbooks too, and they’re maybe a little tight on money and stuff. I think they should mandate every team coming over Sunday or Monday to really enjoy the culture and the place you’re going. You could do events in those cities and outreach stuff and community work. But they won’t because they’re tight.” Although Rodgers and I don’t see eye to eye on various subjects, I’ll agree with him wholeheartedly on that point. The league is, to put it kindly, extremely careful with money. Still, it’s hard to imagine all 16 international games being placed in the same week. The early-morning window for the European games has the potential to become a full-blown broadcast package. Likewise, jamming all 16 international games would limit cities like London to only two games for the season — one at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and one at Wembley Stadium. Bottom line? Sixteen international games are coming. But it seems unlikely that all 16 international games would be played in the same week
