Despite entering Sunday's Week 17 contest vs. the Steelers as the clear underdogs, the lowly Browns managed to eke out a somewhat-spoiler win vs. their division rivals at home on Sunday afternoon, quashing Pittsburgh's chances at immediately clinching both the AFC North and a playoff berth with one 13–6 victory.
As that score might suggest, it was a strong game for the Browns' defense, which managed to keep Pittsburgh not only touchdown-less for a full four quarters, but also entirely scoreless in the second half. Rookie Cleveland quarterback Shedeur Sanders, meanwhile, completed 17 of 23 throws for 186 passing yards and one TD, plus two interceptions (nothing crazy to write home about, but not a bad game, either).
