Steelers bulldoze Browns 27-6 to take AFC North lead, extend home streak over rivals to 23 straight

Jaylen Warren rushed for 143 yards and a touchdown as Pittsburgh dominated the line of scrimmage and tied an NFL record with 23 straight home wins over Cleveland.

  • On Sunday, November 1, 2026, the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Cleveland Browns 27-6 as guard Mason McCormick body-slammed Browns defensive end Jared Verse during a field goal attempt, drawing an unnecessary-roughness penalty.
  • Verse predicted Cleveland would "make Pittsburgh ours" after a Week 4 win, prompting Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward to promise on Tuesday that the comments "will be addressed."
  • Pittsburgh rushed for 200 yards and sacked Deshaun Watson eight times, while Verse finished with one tackle and one quarterback hit, extending his sack drought to eight consecutive games.
  • Cleveland committed nine penalties for 85 yards, including two taunting calls while trailing by 21 points; former Browns center LeCharles Bentley called the team a "clown show."
  • The victory extended Pittsburgh's record-tying 23-game regular-season home winning streak against Cleveland, moving the Steelers to 6-2, while the 5-3 Browns face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, November 8, 2026.
