Steelers vs. Browns live updates: Predictions, TV info, ‘Thursday Night Football’

Posted by Admin November 21, 2024 NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers (8-2) and Cleveland Browns (2-8) are set to clash on “Thursday Night Football” to kick off Week 12. The Steelers lead the AFC North and are riding a five-game winning streak. Meanwhile, the Browns have lost two in a row and are looking to play spoiler in arguably the most fiercely contested division in the NFL.

Russell Wilson‘s renaissance season continues. After entering the season with an injured calf, Wilson has won his first four starts as the Steelers’ starting quarterback. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback has been impressive at times throughout his first month under center, and has tossed six touchdowns to just two interceptions in those four starts.

Although the Steelers offense failed to score a touchdown in Sunday’s 18-16 win over the Ravens, the defense led the way in the victory. They held reigning MVP – and 2024 MVP candidate – Lamar Jackson to just 207 passing yards and 46 rushing yards.

The Browns will start Jameis Winston at quarterback for the fourth straight week. The former No. 1 overall pick has performed well since Deshaun Watson’s season-ending Achilles injury. In Sunday’s 35-14 loss to the Saints, he completed 30 of 46 passes (65.2%) for 395 yards and two touchdowns.

USA TODAY Sports will provide updates heading into and throughout Thursday night’s Browns vs. Steelers game.
