Steelers Prepare for Rivalry Game Against Browns

Jameis Winston, preparing for his first encounter in the intense Steelers-Browns rivalry, reflects on its gritty tradition, describing these matchups as 'hard-nosed' and the 'true definition of cold-weather football.' The game, taking place Thursday night, features the Steelers (8-2), who have won five straight, against the struggling Browns (2-8), who may require a significant offseason overhaul. Pittsburgh is riding high after an 18-16 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, highlighted by Chris Boswell's six field goals and a resolute defense that contained Lamar Jackson. In contrast, Cleveland's season has deteriorated, disappointing a franchise that hoped for improvement. Despite the bleak outlook, Winston notes that the Browns have been successful on Thursdays, boasting an eight-game home winning streak on that day. This matchup may lack the excitement initially anticipated but remains a defining moment for both teams.
