Cleveland entered the locker room with a lead over Pittsburgh in a game where first place in the AFC North is on the line.

The Cleveland Browns (2-1) held a lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) at the conclusion of the first half during their Week 4 matchup at Cleveland. This Thursday Night Football contest carries significant divisional implications, as the winner will claim first place in the AFC North.

Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers entered the game with a 13-6 career record on Thursdays, tying him with Dak Prescott for the second-most wins on that day in the Super Bowl era. A victory in Cleveland would allow Rodgers to tie Tom Brady’s record of 14 Thursday wins.

Cleveland's performance follows a 2-1 start to the season highlighted by late-game play from quarterback Deshaun Watson. ESPN reporters Daniel Oyefusi and Brooke Pryor are tracking key plays as the game progresses.
