🏈 Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher thinks the Steelers need to get the run game going and get the tight ends involved against the Baltimore Ravens .
"The guys I'd go to right, now? Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth ," Cowher said on CBS . "To me, I put a game plan together that is running the ball and play action with Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith. They are the best skill players you have right now. That's it."
🏈 Former Cleveland Browns left tackle and Hall of Famer Joe Thomas thinks the Steelers cared more about preventing Myles Garrett from getting the NFL single-season sack record than winning the game and clinching a playoff berth.
"Sure seemed like the @steelers were happy to lose the game if it meant keeping @Flash_Garrett from setting the NFL single season sack record. SMH," Thomas wrote on X .
Thomas then trolled the Steelers on Monday morning by posting, "Yesterday was a good day" with a photo of him dominating former Steelers linebacker James Farrior.
🏈 Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike Tomlin had a brief conversation with Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders after the team's 13-6 loss.

Tomlin told Sanders, "Good job young man. Stay up."
🏈 Film-Watchers, an account on YouTube that breaks down Xs and Os, absolutely blasted Aaron Rodgers for his performance against the Browns.

🏈 Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said during a news conference on Monday afternoon that he had some players and coaches over at his house Sunday to watch the Steelers-Browns game. He admitted that he watched the game as a fan and was stoked when Aaron Rodgers' pass to Marquez Valdes-Scantling fell incomplete on fourth-and-goal to secure a Cleveland win.
"It was woke," Harbaugh said with a smile . "It was uncorked, man. It was raucous. It was great, everybody was jumping around and fired up and happy. A lot of hugging, a lot of hugging."
"Great job by the Browns," Harbaugh said. "It's a great opportunity. We will be playing a division championship game on the last day of the season. We are excited about that. We have worked hard to get to this position. There are a lot of different paths in football. This is the path of the 2025 season, our goal is to make the most of it."
🏈 Sunday night's Steelers-Ravens game will be the first ever win-or-go-home situation in the AFC North.
"I really didn't realize it," Harbaugh said. "You would have thought it would have happened before. That's about as much head space as I can give it. It's a division championship game for sure, but it's a game. It's in Pittsburgh against the Steelers, we understand that part of it too. We got to get ready for that."
"You got to go play the type of game that can beat a really good football team in their stadium when the stakes are really high. I know they feel the same way."
🏈 Kenneth Gainwell could have had an opportunity to score a touchdown if Aaron Rodgers looked his way on the Steelers' fourth-and-goal play. Instead, Rodgers threw a fade to Marquez Valdes Scantling, resulting in an incompletion to end the game. It was Rodgers' third straight target to MVS, and all of his pass attempts fell incomplete.
🏈 NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger did a video breakdown on Alex Highsmith 's standout performance against the Browns.
🏈 Aaron Rodgers has not thrown an interception in 185 consecutive throws. It's his longest streak since a 243-throw stretch in 2021.
