Cleveland's offense shone brightly, led by quarterback Taylen Green, who threw for an impressive 350 yards, while Quinshon Judkins added a powerful ground game with 107 rushing yards. Jayden Daniels of the Steelers kept pace, tossing three touchdown passes, but it was DK Metcalf's standout performance with 149 receiving yards that kept the Steelers within striking distance.
