Browns vs Steelers: Winners, losers as Cleveland uses defense, key plays to secure win

The Cleveland Browns secured a thrilling 27-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, bringing both teams to a 2-1-0 record and tying them for the top spot in the division alongside the rest of the conference. Head coach Todd Monken's offense guided the squad forward despite a fourth-quarter collapse involving turnovers and penalties, ultimately rescued by Andre Szmyt's 56-yard field goal.

Defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg deployed double coverage against D.K. Metcalf, while key contributions came from Denzel Ward's early interception and Jaleel McLaughlin's impressive touchdown run.
