Heyward said the remarks will be answered on the field as the 5-2 teams meet for first place in the AFC North.

  • The Cleveland Browns visit the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday at Acrisure Stadium, with both teams holding 5-2 records atop the AFC North. Pittsburgh has won 22 consecutive regular-season home games against Cleveland in the Steel City.
  • Following Cleveland's Week 4 victory, Browns edge rusher Jared Verse escalated tensions by calling opponents "garbage" and criticizing their "double-teaming" tactics. Verse stated he holds no respect for players who play "dirty."
  • Steelers defensive end Cam Heyward responded during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show this Tuesday, saying "It's part of the game" and dismissing concerns about physicality. The team does not "whine" about aggressive tactics, Heyward stated.
  • Browns cornerback Denzel Ward dismissed the rivalry's history, stating "For me, I think this is a new game." Ward emphasized both teams must focus on Sunday's preparation rather than past interactions.
  • Sunday's outcome carries significant weight; the winner moves into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Both teams enter the matchup preparing for a tight, one-possession battle.
