On Thursday night, the Cleveland Browns emerged victorious with a thrilling 27-24 win over their AFC North rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Todd Monken offered a memorable closing remark on the final stat sheet, stating simply, "27-24, rest of it doesn't matter." This concise and humorous response had the entire NFL on Prime crew and the crowd at Huntington Bank Field in stitches.
The win propelled Cleveland to a 3-1 record and sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Quarterback Deshaun Watson delivered a strong performance, completing 24 of 33 passes for 268 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. With time running out, Watson orchestrated a crucial seven-play, 36-yard drive that set up a game-sealing 56-yard field goal by kicker Andre Szmyt.
Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers also had a solid outing, throwing for 299 yards and three touchdowns, but Cleveland's defense stepped up in the final moments, with safety Grant Delpit intercepting Rodgers on a desperate Hail Mary attempt. While football analysts may dissect various aspects of the game, Monken remains focused on the ultimate truth: winning in the NFL is all about the scoreboard.
