After the blinding snow wreaked havoc on the passing game previously, he overcame the wintry conditions to orchestrate a nine-play, 45-yard drive, punctuated in the game\u2019s final minute by Chubb plowing ahead for a 2-yard touchdown. Chubb\u2019s two-touchdown game was his first since 2022, and Winston added another rushing score early in the fourth to fuel Cleveland to its third win of the season (3-8).<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Steelers WR <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"qZ3H42PDGITKnjdb\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/george-pickens-qZ3H42PDGITKnjdb\/\">George Pickens<\/a>, who got in a scuffle with Browns CB <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"9VrlM88GHXE1KrsX\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/greg-newsome-ii-9VrlM88GHXE1KrsX\/\">Greg Newsome II<\/a> after the final play, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ASaunders_PGH\/status\/1859825117913808974\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">told a group of reporters<\/a> the weather played the largest factor in the game, not the Browns\u2019 success.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe conditions played a huge, huge part in today\u2019s game. I don\u2019t really think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all,\u201d he said. \u201cI think the conditions kind of saved them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Jeudy continues thriving<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"jy7PvJsPl57HQPF0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/jerry-jeudy-jy7PvJsPl57HQPF0\/\">Jerry Jeudy<\/a> has been a new player since Winston took over, and Jeudy delivered again here.<\/p>\n<p>The Browns appeared to have had this game won multiple times, but they didn\u2019t set themselves up to really win it until Winston hit Jeudy on third down with a little over a minute left. It was the Browns\u2019 first third-down conversion of the night in 10 tries, and it set up a situation where the Steelers basically had to let Chubb score his second touchdown of the night to preserve time.<\/p>\n<p>A strange, snowy game went to the home team thanks to multiple heroics, but the Browns would not have won it without Winston and Jeudy, who had six catches for 85 yards and has topped 70 receiving yards in each of Winston\u2019s four starts. \u2014 <em>Zac Jackson, Browns beat writer<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>A wild fourth quarter<\/h2>\n<p>The Browns won in wild fashion. They wouldn\u2019t have won without going 4-for-4 in converting fourth downs. There was a lot of sloppiness from both sides as part of a 27-point fourth quarter, but the Steelers failing to convert three fourth downs ended up coming back to sting them.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers tried a 58-yard field goal instead of punting on the game\u2019s first drive, and later in the first quarter they inserted <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"ZOZNyO5HimYRdNoh\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/justin-fields-ZOZNyO5HimYRdNoh\/\">Justin Fields<\/a> for a predictable fourth down run that the Browns blew up. Later, <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"J75IZX5jHlFuYFtA\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/jaylen-warren-J75IZX5jHlFuYFtA\/\">Jaylen Warren<\/a> ran right into the teeth of the Browns defense on a fourth down run.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers made a bunch of questionable decisions in this game, and it\u2019s not a stretch to say they mismanaged those fourth downs and a late third down on which they had Fields throw a deep pass instead of running in snowy conditions. It was not Mike Tomlin\u2019s finest moment. \u2014 <em>Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Browns defense returned to 2023 form<\/h2>\n<p>The Browns defense has not played to its pay grade or its 2023 standard. And though it faltered in the fourth quarter, the Browns finished more plays than the Steelers defense did and ultimately finished the game. <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"5tNpwZ84u0CxU0dz\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/myles-garrett-5tNpwZ84u0CxU0dz\/\">Myles Garrett<\/a> had 3 1\/2 sacks, and the Browns came up big on multiple fourth downs and on the Steelers final two possessions. \u2014<em>Jackson<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Steelers needed both QBs to spark comeback<\/h2>\n<p>The Steelers\u2019 boom-or-bust offense showed its explosive side and its warts. For most of the game, Pittsburgh\u2019s most-consistent offense came from <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"iJrFtUU6uxSN7miK\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/russell-wilson-iJrFtUU6uxSN7miK\/\">Russell Wilson<\/a> deep shots. However, the Steelers struggled to run the ball consistently, couldn\u2019t keep Wilson upright and repeatedly failed on short-yardage situations. By the time the Browns took a 18-6, fourth-quarter lead, the Steelers had gone seven quarters without a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Needing a spark, the Steelers leaned on both of their quarterbacks. First, Fields provided a chunk play on a designed quarterback run, racing 30 yards down the right sideline. He later helped cap the drive with a touchdown when he came into the game and handed the ball to Warren on a read-option.<\/p>\n<p>Then, after <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"hRUto8KbJhpu5zRc\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/nick-herbig-hRUto8KbJhpu5zRc\/\">Nick Herbig<\/a> strip-sacked Winston, Wilson connected with <a class=\"ath_autolink\" data-id=\"kdTwDhUa1cB69Rog\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/nfl\/player\/calvin-austin-iii-kdTwDhUa1cB69Rog\/\">Calvin Austin III<\/a> for a 23-yard touchdown to put the Steelers ahead, 19-18.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers have been a difficult team to figure out this season. Erasing a 12-point lead in six minutes \u2014 after failing to score for seven quarters \u2014 continues to make this a hard team to understand. Blowing that lead makes the conversation even messier. But one thing is becoming clear: Playing both quarterbacks may be necessary for the Steelers get out of ruts and rectify their red zone woes. \u2014 <em>Mike DeFabo, Steelers beat writer<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Fourth-down failures haunt Pittsburgh<\/h2>\n<p>The Steelers\u2019 defense was nearly perfect on third down, as the Browns went 1-for-10 on the evening. However, fourth down was a completely different story. The Browns went 4-for-4. That included a Winston rushing touchdown that put the Browns ahead 18-6.<\/p>\n<p>Later, with Pittsburgh leading 19-18, the Steelers had a chance to end the game when the Browns faced a fourth-and-3 from Pittsburgh\u2019s 38. However, Winston hit Jeudy for five yards and a first down. Later in that same series, the one third down the Browns did complete was a back-breaker that set them up for the go-ahead touchdown. \u2014 <em>DeFabo<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Required reading<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>(Photo: Nick Cammett \/ Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/5939592\/2024\/11\/22\/steelers-browns-score-result-takeaways\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Zac Jackson, Mike DeFabo and Amos Morale III As rapidly falling snow piled up on Huntington Bank Field, the Cleveland Browns turned to Nick Chubb to carry them home &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=128871\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-128871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=128871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128871\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=128871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=128871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=128871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
