Cleveland Browns next game | 1 p.m. Dec. 8 vs Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh
Although a 41-32 loss the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football” guaranteed the Browns season will end without a playoff game, the team has at least become more competitive and entertaining since Jameis Winston replaced the injured Deshaun Watson as its starting quarterback.
Winston’s boom-or-bust nature was perfectly encapsulated against the Broncos on Monday when he passed for a personal- and franchise-record 497 yards and four touchdowns but also threw three costly interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns.
Maximizing the “good” Winston and minimizing the “bad” one will go a long way to determining if the Browns (3-9) can snap a 20-game regular-season losing streak to the Steelers in Pittsburgh when the teams play at 1 p.m. Sunday at Acrisure Stadium. The losing skid, which dates back to a 33-13 Browns win on Oct. 5, 2003, doesn’t include a 48-37 playoff win on Jan. 10, 2021.
The Steelers (9-3) are coming off a 44-38 win over the Cincinnati Bengals behind Russell Wilson’s 414 yards and three touchdowns passing.
What gives the Browns hope Winston can rise to the occasion against the AFC North-leading Steelers is the fact he did just that on Nov. 21, when he led Cleveland to a 24-19 win over Pittsburgh on “Thursday Night Football.”
That victory narrowed the Steelers’ lead in the all-time series to 81-64-1, but Pittsburgh has still dominated 41-12 since the Browns returned to the NFL.
Each team has a regular contributor who previously played for the other team. Browns linebacker Devin Bush played four seasons with the Steelers after he was their first-round pick in 2019. And Steelers defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi is in his third season in Pittsburgh after playing four seasons for the Browns, who made him a third-round pick in 2017.
In addition, Steelers quarterbacks coach Tom Arth is a Cleveland native, a St. Ignatius and John Carroll graduate, and was University of Akron head coach from 2018 to 2021.

Sidney Crosby leaves Penguins-Senators game, will not return
Sidney Crosby left the Pittsburgh Penguins’ game against the Ottawa Senators at the Canadian Tire Centre on Thursday and did not return.
The team initially did not disclose why Crosby was ruled out of the game, but coach Dan Muse told reporters postgame that Crosby has a lower-body injury. Crosby left the ice and went to the locker room early in the second period. The Penguins went on to beat the Senators in a shootout, 4-3.
Pittsburgh also played Thursday’s game without Evgeni Malkin, who has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury. It remains unclear how long he will be out, with the team only saying Malkin is “day-to-day,” according to a post on X from March 24.
Crosby returned to Pittsburgh’s lineup on March 18 against the Carolina Hurricanes after missing four weeks due to a lower-body injury suffered during the Olympic tournament. Crosby was injured during Team Canada’s quarterfinal win over Team Czechia after a hit by Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas.
Crosby was placed on injured reserve and missed 11 games. In the five games since returning to the lineup, Crosby has tallied five points. This season, the 38-year-old star for the Penguins has a team-high 28 goals, and he is third on the team with 36 assists.
With 10 games remaining in the regular season, Pittsburgh (36-20-16) sits in second place in the Eastern Conference’s Metropolitan Division with 88 points. The Columbus Blue Jackets and New York Islanders both have 87 points.

$1.5 million-winning Pennsylvania Lottery ticket sold at Pittsburgh hospital
A Pittsburgh hospital will be getting a big bonus for selling a $1.5 million-winning Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off ticket.
UPMC Magee-Women’s Hospital sold the Cash Spectacular ticket, and, as a result, will get a $10,000 bonus.
According to the Pennsylvania Lottery, the Cash Spectacular is a $30 game that offers the top prize of $1.5 million.
As they often do when a big winner such as this one happens, the Pennsylvania Lottery is reminding players that scratch-off prizes are valid for one year from the game’s end-sale date, which can be found on their website.
The Pennsylvania Lottery also said that scratch-offs are distributed at random, so neither the lottery nor the retailers know where winning tickets will be sold.
Pittsburgh area million-dollar winners
Since the calendar flipped to 2026, the Pittsburgh area has been one lucky place, with multiple million-dollar or more winning tickets sold since January.
The first came on January 8 when a $1 million scratch-off was sold at a North Huntingdon Township Walmart. The $20 Jackpot Scratch-Off yielded the top prize of $1 million.
Just a week later, again in Westmoreland County, a Match 6 Lotto ticket was sold at the North Huntingdon Sheetz, giving someone a $1.4 million prize.
One of the biggest jackpots of the year came earlier this month in Armstrong County, when one lucky player won $1 million for year for life.
That ticket was sold at a BP gas station on Buffalo Street in Freeport Borough. As a result, the BP got a $100,000 bonus.
