The Pittsburgh Steelers secured a 27-14 victory over the Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium, improving their record to 10-3 and maintaining their lead in the AFC North. Coach Mike Tomlin expressed his appreciation for the team’s collective effort, noting contributions from offense, defense, and special teams. “Appreciative of the efforts in-game,” said Tomlin. He acknowledged initial struggles but praised the team for finding momentum.
The Steelers played without receiver George Pickens due to a hamstring injury. Scotty Miller stepped up with three receptions for 38 yards. “We put a helmet on Scotty Miller,” said Tomlin, emphasizing focus on available players rather than those sidelined by injuries.
Quarterback Russell Wilson highlighted the team’s cohesion and leadership from key players like Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt. “I think all of it correlates,” said Wilson, commending Coach Tomlin’s leadership.
During Sunday’s game, four former Steelers were inducted into the Hall of Honor: Jason Gildon, Casey Hampton, Dick LeBeau, and Willie Parker. Coach Tomlin congratulated them: “I’m glad we were able to do our part.”
Defensive tackle Cameron Heyward delivered five tackles and two sacks against the Browns. Heyward noted the completeness of this year’s team: “We have a team that is complementary of everybody.”
Keeanu Benton recorded his first career interception during the game, contributing to Najee Harris’s touchdown run shortly after.
Safety DeShon Elliott was active throughout Sunday’s matchup with 13 tackles and emphasized teamwork as crucial to defensive success: “If we play together, we can be a great defense.”
