The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-3) welcome the Cleveland Browns (3-9) to Acrisure Stadium for the last of four consecutive division games.
Land Clark’s crew will officiate the series clash finale between the Steelers and Browns. According to NFLpenalties.com, Clark and his officiating team frequently call false starts (30), offensive holding (22), and defensive pass interference (15).
Data reveals that the home team wins less than half the time under Clark’s command (41.7%). Clark’s last two Steelers-officiated games both resulted in a loss: Week 4 at the Indianapolis Colts and Week 13, 2023, against the Arizona Cardinals.
Pittsburgh aims to make it two in a row after crushing Cincinnati in Week 13. The Steelers lead the head-to-head series 81-64-1, and the Browns haven’t won in Pittsburgh since 2021.
The Steelers can eliminate the Browns from playoff contention with a win but will have to wait to clinch their own berth. If they win two more games the rest of the season, they will be in the playoffs, no matter what. Should Pittsburgh split the series with Cleveland, it will have an opportunity to clinch in Week 15 at the Philadelphia Eagles.
