Chubb’s redemption moment
In blizzard-like conditions, Nick Chubb powered through for a 2-yard touchdown with 57 seconds left, lifting the Cleveland Browns to a dramatic 24-19 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. The win ended Pittsburgh’s five-game winning streak and marked a special comeback for Chubb in his first game against the Steelers since a devastating knee injury last season.
A game of resilience
Chubb’s two-touchdown performance, including a critical score in the second quarter, capped an emotional return for the running back. “It meant a lot to me. I know it means a lot to him,” said Myles Garrett, who dominated with three sacks.
Browns seize the late opportunity
After blowing a 12-point lead and falling behind 19-18 late in the fourth quarter, the Browns capitalized on a shanked 16-yard punt by Steelers’ Corliss Waitman. Jameis Winston connected with Jerry Jeudy on a crucial third-down pass to set up Chubb’s game-winning dive.
Snowy setting, thrilling finish
With heavy snow obscuring yard markers, the Steelers had a final chance, but Russell Wilson’s Hail Mary was batted down in the end zone by Grant Delpit, sparking celebrations at Huntington Bank Field.
The browns’ defense dominates
Myles Garrett outshined Steelers star T.J. Watt, delivering a game-changing strip-sack in the first half that set up a Cleveland field goal. Garrett emphasized his intent: “I wanted to make it known that I’m the guy, I’m No. 1 as an edge defender.”
Steelers rally falls short
Despite a late push, including Wilson’s go-ahead touchdown pass to Calvin Austin III and Nick Herbig’s strip-sack of Winston, the Steelers couldn’t hold off the Browns’ late surge. “We should’ve won that game,” Wilson lamented.
