Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers NFL Week 8 Live Updates, Highlights and Analysis

The Cleveland defense is doing its level best to keep the team in the game, coming up with yet another stand deep in Browns territory.

But this game hasn't been as close as the score.

Tight end Harold Fannin was a one-man drive for the Browns, catching four passes for 54 yards to get the Browns into the red zone.

The drive stalled, but the Browns got on the board.

Frankly, the Browns are fortunate to only be down 10.

Cleveland has to get something going offensively or it's going to get late early.

Pittsburgh has first and goal from inside the five as quarter No. 1 comes to a close.

The Steelers outgained the Browns 135 to -1 in the period.

How's that for a horror movie?

This happened on third-and-13.

Pittsburgh already has 100 yards on the ground.

Three possessions. Three sacks allowed. Two turnovers. -1 yards.

Turnovers are the kiss of death.

That is all.

The good news is that Deshaun Watson is back in the game.

The bad news is that he came back in and fumbled.

Two turnovers in less than five minutes.

Well, this looks a lot like a Browns game in Pittsburgh so far.

Harold Fannin Jr. puts it on the ground, Mike McCarthy astutely challenges the ruling that he was down, and the Steelers are set up in plus territory.

The Browns lead the league in lost fumbles.

Yes, you read that right.

Watson took a shot to the head from a blitzing Jaquan Brisker.

He's in the blue medical tent--likely being evaluated for a concussion.

The last time the Browns won in Pittsburgh.

Ah. Good times.

It's imperative that the Browns get after Aaron Rodgers Sunday, and the Browns should have some success in that regard--only two quarterbacks in the NFL have been sacked more times than Rodgers in 2026.

Unfortunately, one of those quarterbacks is Deshaun Watson.

If it makes you feel any better, playing in Pittsburgh has been nightmare fuel for the Browns for as long as this writer can remember.

And this writer is old.
