Steelers turn sights toward division rival Browns Thursday night
The Steelers are looking to go 2-0 in division play in Cleveland, where they haven’t won since 2021.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have shifted their focus to hosting division rival Cleveland Browns in Thursday night's football game. Late Wednesday night, the Steelers completed a trade involving Joey Porter Jr. to the Dallas Cowboys. Both the team's head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have a history of success on Thursday nights.
McCarthy aims to become the first coach since Mike Tomlin to win a road division game on a short week. The Steelers have been diligently preparing for the Browns since Friday, focusing on the film during their return to the team facility on Sunday after their win against the Bengals. Players have expressed the challenges of playing on a short week, with Quarterback Aaron Rodgers emphasizing that they will make necessary concessions for the offense to perform at its best. The Dawg Pound is anticipated to generate a lively atmosphere for the Thursday night matchup.
