Sierra Vaughn: "Pittsburgh's dominance in yards masked what this game actually was: a suffocating defensive stalemate that Pittsburgh won because Cleveland couldn't manufacture anything, scoring just 6 points on an offense that turns the ball over and stalls in equal measure." Daniel Keller: "Cleveland's 1-8 record stops looking like a puzzle once you watch them operate: 71 passing yards and 89 rushing yards means they didn't manufacture anything because there was nothing to manufacture, and that's the season in miniature."

Not one for the highlight reel. Steelers 11, Browns 6. Kyler Murray was steady for Steelers — 28/52, 273 yards, 1 INT. Mason Graham was the problem for Browns — 2 sacks — in a losing effort. Quentin Johnston's high-water mark for the year. Total yards: Steelers 402, Browns 160.

Jaylen Rivers: "Pittsburgh's ground game was a freight train that Indianapolis couldn't slow down—Gibbs with 182 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns is what happens when a defense has nothing left to give you." Sierra Vaughn: "Indianapolis is functionally out—they're 0-5 with a point differential that projects to 29% wins going forward, and they've handed the ball away 4 more times than they've forced it away all season. This was a clinic in being overmatched."

Steelers 35, Colts 7, and it was not that close. Jahmyr Gibbs did the work on the ground for Steelers — 19 carries, 182 yards, 3 TD. DK Metcalf was the target for Steelers — 2 catches, 64 yards, 1 TD. Jahmyr Gibbs has not had a better afternoon this season. Total yards: Steelers 290, Colts 101.

Zoe Bell: "Cincinnati came out and beat Pittsburgh the way you beat somebody when you've decided the game is over before it starts—that 56-35 scoreline is honestly flattering to what Pittsburgh's defense had to watch. Kyler Murray threw 4 touchdowns and it didn't matter because Chase Brown ran for 247 yards and 3 more, and when your backfield is moving the ball like that on the ground, the entire operation becomes something the other team can't solve."

Cincinnati dismantled Pittsburgh 56-35 behind Matthew Stafford's 5 touchdown passes and Chase Brown's 247 rushing yards on 20 carries. The Bengals controlled the line of scrimmage, outgaining the Steelers 594 yards to 418, and Pittsburgh's 4 turnovers proved fatal. Kyler Murray threw 4 touchdowns for Pittsburgh but it wasn't enough against a Cincinnati offense that moved at will.

Steelers won the turnover battle, and the turnover battle won the game. Ty Simpson was steady for Falcons — 20/39, 459 yards, 6 TD, 5 INT — in a losing effort. Kyler Murray was steady for Steelers — 16/27, 339 yards, 5 TD, 2 INT. Through the air: Falcons 459, Steelers 339.
