    Steelers vs. Browns live score, updates, highlights from NFL ‘Thursday Night Football’ game

    No Comments15 Mins Read

    There’s nothing quite like getting to settle a divisional rivalry under the bright lights in prime time.

    The rivalry between the Steelers and Browns has gone largely in Pittsburgh’s favor: the Steelers lead the all-time series 79-61-1, including postseason games. But the Browns have made things interesting in recent years. While Pittsburgh swept the series in 2021, the teams split in 2020 and the Browns won the AFC wild-card matchup between the squads that season.

    This edition will look a little different than usual. Both teams have fill-in quarterbacks. The Steelers have turned to Mitch Trubisky with 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett waiting for his chance to start following the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger. The Browns will send out Jacoby Brissett, who will be the team’s starter until Deshaun Watson returns from his 11-game suspension in Week 13.

    Both teams have had mixed results this season. They both pulled off Week 1 victories, with the Steelers beating the Bengals in overtime and the Browns edging the Panthers in the final seconds. Both fell in Week 2, to the Patriots and Jets, respectively.

    The winner will advance to 2-1 and be guaranteed at least a share of the AFC North division lead after Week 3.

    Steelers vs. Browns live updates, highlights from ‘Thursday Night Football’

    (All times Eastern)

    Third Quarter

    10:22 p.m.: Brissett tries to find Njoku, then Cooper, but to no avail. The first pass was in the hands of Njoku, but he dropped it after the hit by Cameron Sutton. The second is thrown behind Cooper and hits corner Ahkello Witherspoon in the leg.

    10:20 p.m.: Brissett connects with Cooper for six, then keeps it himself on a sneak to pick up the first with a rush for two. Browns have a 1st and 10 at the Pittsburgh 16.

    10:20 p.m.: After the injury timeout, Chubb rushes to the right side for a pickup of three to the 24.

    10:16 p.m.: The Browns convert on another fourth down try as Hunt finds some space and rushes for nine yards, but on the play, left tackle Jedrick Willis is injured. The Browns will have a 1st and 10 at the Steelers 27.

    10:16 p.m.: Hunt can’t quite reach the first down as he is stopped just a yard short at the Pittsburgh 36.

    10:15 p.m.: Chubb continues his strong drive, fighting through some defenders for eight yards to make it a 3rd and three.

    10:13 p.m.: The Browns go back to Chubb, who takes a group of defenders up the field a few yards to rush ahead for nine yards. Brissett picked up five on the next play, but a holding penalty brings it back to a 2nd and 11 at the Pittsburgh 46.

    10:12 p.m.: Brissett out to another favorite target, this one Njoku, who catches a tight end screen and bulls his way ahead for 12 yards.

    10:12 p.m.: Another big connection from Brissett to Cooper. Cooper caches a pass just in front of the first down marker and carves down the right sideline for a gain of 28 yards up to the Cleveland 43.

    10:11 p.m.: Chubb starts the Cleveland drive with a gain of one.

    10:07 p.m.: Steelers, lining up to punt, are called for a delay of game. Rogers fair catches the punt at the Cleveland 14.

    10:06 p.m.: Trubisky can’t connect with Claypool, who is also called for offensive pass interference. The penalty was declined, bringing up a 4th and five with 9:43 left.

    10:04 p.m.: The Steelers are hit with a penalty for an ineligible man down the field, and the play is coming back. Steelers, facing a 2nd and 19, immediately pick most of that yardage back up as Trubisky finds Johnson wide open for 14 yards.

    10 p.m.: Shovel pass from Trubisky out to Warren picks up big yardage cutting through the Browns defense and darting down the right sideline until he is finally brought down in the red zone, though there is a penalty flag on the field. During the play, Anthony Walker Jr. is injured, and the cart is coming out.

    9:59 p.m.: Trubisky dumps the ball off to Harris, who is quickly swarmed by the Cleveland defense for a loss of four yards.

    9:58 p.m.: Harris rushes ahead for three yards to move up to the 45, and then he catches a pass from Trubisky and hurdles a defender to pick up nine to move up to Cleveland’s 46.

    9:55 p.m.: Trubisky rolls out and evades pressure, and his pass out right to a diving Claypool picks up 14. After a penalty against the Browns, Harris rushes for four yards and another for two to move the chains up to the Pittsburgh 42.

    9:54 p.m.: Trubisky throws a quick pass to the right side out to Johnson, who can only take it a yard as he wraps around to the outside. His next pass attempt, this time to Pickens, falls incomplete.

    9:53 p.m.: Starting the third, Gunner Olszewski tries to return the kickoff, but only brings it out to the 16.

    Second Quarter

    9:36 p.m.: Trubisky well over-shoots Claypool out to the right for an incompletion, then misses Pickens out to the left. The Browns use their second timeout with six seconds left. Pittsburgh likely has to have this next play in the end zone or have a quick play out of bounds.

    9:34 p.m.: Another deep shot by Trubisky as he finds Claypool down the left sideline for 20 yards. But he’s tackled in bounds at the Cleveland 43, forcing the Steelers to use their final timeout with 16 seconds left.

    9:34 p.m.: Trubisky starts the drive with an incompletion out to Johnson, but Ward is called for a five-yard holding penalty.

    9:21 p.m.: The Brissett-to-Njoku connection is working well. After a short pass up the middle for six, the two connect again first for a gain of 19 and then again for 10 to move all the way up to the Cleveland 47.

    9:20 p.m.: Another long field ahead for Cleveland as Jerome Ford decides to bring the kickoff out of the end zone and is stopped at the Cleveland 12.

    9:16 p.m. Steelers scoring play: Trubisky rushes around to the right side and just does make it into the end zone before his knee is done. Boswell drills the PAT and Pittsburgh takes its first lead of the day with 3:50 left in the half. Steelers take a 14-13 lead.

    9:13 p.m.: Harris is swallowed up quickly at the 26 for a short gain of one.

    9:12 p.m.: Harris carries the ball for a gain of four, but on the next drive, Warren fumbles the ball following a pickup of 17. Fortunately for the Steelers, Johnson is there on the right sideline to pounce on the ball and recover it for Pittsburgh.

    9:02 p.m.: Back-to-back first downs, this time with some trickery. Brissett hands the ball to Hunt on a jet sweep, it gets flicked back to Brissett and he hits Hunt for a gain of 11.

    9:01 p.m.: This time, Brissett connects with Peoples-Jones for a gain of 10 and a first down.

    9 p.m.: Hunt can only pick up a yard after bouncing to the left, and Brissett misses Donovan Peoples-Jones on the next play. Cleveland facing a 3rd and nine from its own 41 with 12:57 left in the half.

    8:58 p.m.: The Browns keep the drive moving down the field despite the penalty as Njoku finds space on the right side of the field and hauls in a 13-yard pass. Steelers have to call a timeout after some confusion on defense.

    8:56 p.m.: Brissett goes right back to Cooper, hitting him on a curl route for a gain of six.
