00:30The Verizon Halftime Report, J.B.
00:32Someone said something funny.
00:35Nate, Matt Ryan, Coach Cowher.
00:36Latest NFL scores and highlights.
00:38It's all coming up on the Verizon Halftime Report.
00:44Down to a minute 47 to play.
00:47Second quarter.
00:48That was the longest run of the day for Cleveland.
00:54Gabriel is 6 of 8 for just 47 yards through the air.
00:59Flag down initially.
01:01Gabriel will throw it.
01:02And he hits Jerry Judy.
01:05Judy's still going.
01:08Takes it to the 36.
01:11So they're getting into field goal range if this play were to stand.
01:16Early indicator is it will not.
01:18Information.
01:19Offense number 68 is lined up in the back here.
01:22Five-yard penalty.
01:23Repeat first down.
01:24Oh, just a killer if you're a Browns fan.
01:27Cam Robinson, new to the team.
01:30He's right here.
01:32And you can see.
01:33I'm just going to show you.
01:33This belt line right here.
01:35It's the belt line.
01:37It's not the back of the center's butt.
01:40So he's not clearing that belt line.
01:43And that's the reason they call it.
01:44And generally, you're going to get a couple warnings before they call that one on you.
01:49The refs are pretty good about giving warnings.
01:51So you would imagine that he's been talked about.
01:54But, man.
01:55That's a backbreaker in a two-minute situation going into the half.
01:58A great hookup between your young rookie quarterback and Jerry Judy taking off the board.
02:04He's a nine-year veteran, Robinson.
02:06He was still stating his case.
02:08Gabriel, play fake.
02:10Drives it downfield.
02:11And Najoku holds onto it even after the big hit.
02:16And he is slow to get up.
02:20Into Pittsburgh territory at the 49.
02:25David Najoku needs a moment.
02:28Rule because this injury occurred in the last two minutes of the half.
02:31Cleveland will be charged with a timeout.
02:33They're second.
02:3514-yard completion.
02:39This is how you help out your rookie quarterback.
02:42Jerry Judy did it a couple plays ago.
02:44Catching a contested ball across the middle.
02:46Here, David Najoku goes across the middle.
02:48Knows he's going to get hit.
02:49But holds onto that football.
02:51And then, for Dylan Gabriel,
02:54I know people have wanted to talk about his height in the past
02:57and getting balls batted,
02:58maybe not being able to throw over the middle.
03:00He's answering those questions right now.
03:02He's standing in that pocket.
03:04And he's delivering the ball across the middle of the field
03:06to his playmakers really nicely for that Cleveland offense.
03:10It was the former Brown, Juan Thornhill,
03:13that put the hit on Najoku.
03:15He goes directly to the blue 10.
03:18Interesting.
03:19The height question,
03:20it actually came up when we spoke with Quinshawn Judkins
03:23when we asked him the difference between Flacco and Gabriel.
03:26And really, the question had more to do with,
03:28you know,
03:29is it a different type of pass or a different type of...
03:32He said, no, no, no.
03:33Where you get the ball as a running back,
03:35the handoff location.
03:36It was like a Eureka moment for you.
03:40It's a give to Judkins.
03:42And he slithers in to the 45.
03:45It was really interesting.
03:46I never thought about the height of the handoff
03:49for a running back
03:50when Judkins talked about that.
03:52Flacco versus Gabriel.
03:54Flacco is 6'6".
03:55Gabriel is listed at 5'11".
03:57Gabriel, sideline toss.
04:00Incomplete.
04:01Gonna get rough in the passer here on Patrick Queen.
04:03Came in real high.
04:06He kept his hands out of it
04:07and tried to do the not-me thing.
04:10But when you come in face-to-face
04:12and you hit up that high,
04:14the ref's gonna throw it every time.
04:15But there's also a flag in the defensive backfield.
04:18So multiple flags in the pocket.
04:22A third flag at the 31 on the sideline.
04:26There were fouls by both teams during the play.
04:28Pass interference.
04:30Offense number three.
04:31Personal foul roughing the passer.
04:32Defense number six.
04:35Those penalties offset.
04:36Repeat first down.
04:38So Judy called for offensive P.I.
04:42And Queen roughing the passer here at the end.
04:45Got him up high on Gabriel.
04:47Yeah, just a launch.
04:48I mean, he goes up there face-to-face.
04:50That's forcible contact to the head.
04:52They're gonna call that.
04:53And then here is Jerry Judy.
04:56You can see he grabs.
04:57Almost looks like the defender there.
04:58Trying to not give up an interception.
05:03First and ten.
05:04A minute three to play.
05:06First half.
05:07Gabriel soft toss.
05:08It's broken up.
05:10Larva Dan, the intended target.
05:12And Joey Porter Jr.
05:13getting the crowd pumped up after the play.
05:18Joey Porter Jr.
05:18Back after missing three games.
05:20Just a little slant route here.
05:22Man-to-man coverage, which he excels at.
05:24And is able to get the PBU.
05:27Setting up second and ten.
05:29One minute left.
05:31Browns with one timeout.
05:32Going to try and get themselves at least into field goal range here.
05:37They have just 74 total yards in the first half.
05:42Still need a solid eight yards for a legitimate attempt for Schmidt.
05:49Gabriel.
05:50They'll get that yardage and then some.
05:52And Judy.
05:54Right at the marker for a first down working against Porter.
05:57He not only got the first down, but gets out of bounds.
06:02Stopped the clock.
06:05Finding some chemistry here.
06:07Between Dylan Gabriel and Jerry Judy.
06:11Two-minute drive.
06:13Going well so far for the young quarterback.
06:1755 seconds left on the clock.
06:20Six targets, four catches, 36 yards for Judy.
06:2451 yards on this drive.
06:25But they had just 34 total on the previous three drives.
06:30Ford remains in there.
06:33Gabriel straight back.
06:35Delivers.
06:36Incomplete.
06:37They're trying to feed it to Judy.
06:39Through two defenders in the play.
06:43Judy runs a little post route.
06:45You're going to see him coming to your screen off the left.
06:48And it's almost as if he didn't see.
06:49He took his eyes to the safety first before looking back for the ball.
06:54And you kind of wonder if that's what those hits across the middle have done on this drive.
07:00The one that Njoku and the one Judy took earlier.
07:02Sometimes that makes you take a peek at the safety before looking back for the ball.
07:06And it was just enough to throw off the timing.
07:1051 seconds on the clock.
07:11Tenth play of the drive.
07:14Ford out of the backfield.
07:15Gabriel from the gun.
07:16Protection holds.
07:20He slings it.
07:21And it's handled by Fannin.
07:24Tough grab by Fannin at the 32.
07:27Brandon Echols with the tackle.
07:30They pick up a couple of yards on the play.
07:32So Pittsburgh is going to take a timeout as third and ten comes up here.
07:36There's 45 seconds left.
07:38We'll come back after this.
07:45Chin up.
07:47Stiff upper lip.
07:49Real men don't ask for help.
07:51Today, many of these ideas no longer hold true.
07:55Especially if you have advanced prostate cancer.
07:59So challenge what you've been told.
08:01Ask your doctor about your PSMA status and what it could mean for you.
08:05One scan can change the course of your prostate cancer journey.
08:10As it turns out, asking for help is the manliest thing you can do.
08:18So off the Steelers timeout.
08:20It's a third and long for Cleveland.
08:28Browns will get the ball to start the second half.
08:31They're trying to get some points on the board before the end of the first half.
08:34Sampson lines up as a receiver.
08:41Low snap.
08:43Gabriel throws it underneath.
08:44Catch made.
08:45Move made by Sampson.
08:46And he spun backwards.
08:48He had the first down initially.
08:49And it looks like they're going to give him that forward progress.
08:53Patrick Queen got over there.
08:55It did look like that spin around might have taken him back behind the line.
09:00But the forward progress gets...
09:02Final timeout has been taken.
09:08It looks like he has it there.
09:10That's tight.
09:11Man.
09:12He might have gotten a favorable spot.
09:14Sampson sensed that.
09:19Great look at it there.
09:20He had maybe some room on a spin, but it actually worked against him.
09:28That is a first down for Cleveland.
09:31That last look was a really nice look by our crew.
09:35It looked like he did break that plane to get the first down.
09:40Here it is again.
09:41You can see the pylon at the top of the screen.
09:43And it definitely looks like he has that ball in that left hand and crosses it.
09:47So the ball was spotted just inside the 25.
09:52Judkins is back in there.
09:5438 seconds on the clock.
09:57Gabriel steps and throws.
10:00Catch is made by Fennig.
10:02Another rookie contributing for Cleveland as the Steelers rally to the ball.
10:07It's a five-yard pickup.
10:09And that clock's rolling because they have no timeouts left here.
10:11So you're going to take some shots here at the end zone or the sideline
10:16and see if you can get seven instead of three.
10:19Clock ticking down to 15 seconds left.
10:21Gabriel throws it to the outside.
10:23Now Joku just trying to get out of bounds.
10:2811 seconds remaining.
10:31Eight-yard pickup.
10:32Verizon Halftime Report.
10:33JB in the game.
10:35Scores.
10:35Highlights all coming up on the Verizon Halftime Report.
10:40The offense hasn't been doing much all day long,
10:43but this two-minute drive is a great reason for optimism.
10:46You see Dylan Gabriel operating calm and composed,
10:49delivering the ball to his guys,
10:51and his guys making big plays.
10:5413 plays.
10:5574 yards.
10:58You can take maybe two shots at the end zone here if you want to.
11:01Mike T is going to call a timeout.
11:02Third and final.
11:06Charge timeout.
11:07Pittsburgh.
11:08This is a 30-second timeout.
11:1011 seconds left on the clock.
11:13Tomlin had high praise for Gabriel.
11:15He had high praise for Judkins.
11:17So here's what you can't do on this drive if you're Dylan Gabriel, a rookie,
11:23and probably what head coach Kevin Stefanski is reminding him.
11:26We can't take a sack.
11:27We can't complete the ball inbounds and not have it be a touchdown.
11:31We have to either get out of bounds or get in the end zone.
11:33And you would imagine if they do it quick enough,
11:38you could possibly have two quick shots here,
11:40definitely one before you settle for a field goal.
11:44The ball is at the Pittsburgh 11.
11:4911 seconds on the clock.
11:57Shotgun.
11:58Gabriel hooks a pass underneath.
12:02And Ford gets out of bounds.
12:03Collision there.
12:05And that's dangerous because if he goes out of bounds sideways or backwards,
12:09that clock keeps rolling.
12:11You have to go out of bounds moving forward for the clock to stop.
12:14And that was close to it there.
12:16But they're leaving the offense on the field.
12:20Seven seconds left.
12:21This is going to have to be a real quick shot at the end zone if you want to take one.
12:28Andre Schmidt waiting his turn.
12:32Kevin Stefanski wants a touchdown.
12:34Play clock at 8.
12:40Seven seconds left.
12:43Gabriel fires.
12:45Incomplete.
12:46Looking for Njoku.
12:48Three seconds on the clock,
12:49and now the field goal unit will come on.
12:54Another situation where David Njoku's not looking.
12:57Watch his eyes.
12:57They're on the safety.
12:59And then he looks back for the ball.
13:00I'm really wondering if those two hits on this drive
13:03are still sitting in the minds of those Cleveland receivers and tight ends.
13:07And Queen got a piece of it.
13:10This will be a short field goal for the Syracuse product.
13:13Andre Schmidt, 31-yarder.
13:21Browns looking for their first points.
13:24And Schmidt nails it.
13:26As time expires here in the first half.
13:319-3 Steelers in front.
13:35Browns with a long drive to end the second quarter.
13:40And they settle for three.
13:44End of the first half.
13:469-3 Steelers.
13:47Halftime is next after these first half highlights from Verizon and a word from your local station.
13:54Let's take a look at the first half highlight delivered by Prime.
13:57This was the first play from scrimmage.
14:00Aaron Rodgers to Darnell Washington.
14:03And the big tight end rumbling.
14:06He had the ball knocked away from behind out of bounds.
14:11All right.
14:11That was the highlight.
14:13That was the biggest highlight offensively of the first half.
14:16We look at the first half stats.
14:17166 total yards for Pittsburgh.
14:191-0-6 for Cleveland.
14:20Eight total possessions.
14:21Four field goals.
14:23Four punts.
14:23There you go.
14:24You're updated.
14:24Ian Eagle.
14:25J.J. Watt.
14:26Evan Washburn down on the sidelines.
14:27We were not expecting a boatload of points.
14:30It's played out that way.
14:31Yeah.
14:31And most of those Cleveland yards came in that last drive where Dylan Gabriel led the two-minute drill.
14:36But Pittsburgh's had uncharacteristic penalties today.
14:38They have five of them when they only averaged four on the year.
14:41And they have the three sacks where Cleveland doesn't have any.
14:43But it's anybody's game right now.
14:45This is AFC North football.
14:47This is what you're used to.
14:48And some optimism for Cleveland at the end of that first half to finally get a sustained drive like they did.
14:54The numbers for the two QBs.
14:57Dylan Gabriel.
14:57This is just his second career start in the NFL.
15:0113 of 18.
15:0292 yards.
15:03Aaron Rodgers has been doing this forever.
15:0512 of 19 for a buck 20.
15:07Yeah.
15:08And that last play of Dylan Gabriel's first half to me shows how much confidence they have in him.
15:13Snapping the ball with only seven seconds left on the clock and no timeouts means he knows and understands the situation.
15:18And the coaches trust him like a vet.
15:22So Browns will have the football to start this second half.
15:28It's a 9-3 lead for the AFC North leaders, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
15:34Sampson, the return man.
15:37Sampson could not get through that first wave of special teamers.
15:42And he's down at the 23-yard line.
15:46At halftime, Evan Washburn caught up with Kevin Stavansky.
15:50He had to change things around there and get points there at the end of the first half to find some points.
15:55Yeah, two-minute drafts and we had to play a little more wide open and throw the ball there.
15:59Obviously, we got to do, we got to stay on the field is what we have to do on offense.
16:02And that includes our run game, picking it up where Quinn Schoen can get his touches here.
16:06And then, obviously, making plays in the back end.
16:08But we got to stay on the field on offense.
16:10I think our defense is saying we're going to fight, scratch, and claw this final 30 minutes here.
16:15Yeah, thanks.
16:15Thanks, Evan.
16:16Great to see Evan getting some extra steps in.
16:18Hand off to Chuckens.
16:20Tries the jump cut.
16:22And the Steelers have contained him.
16:24Deshaun Elliott, first man there.
16:25It's a four-yard pickup for Quinn Schoen.
16:29Chuckens, the rookie out of Ohio State.
16:31Yeah, and I agree with Kevin Stavansky.
16:32They want to get Chuckensky.
16:34They want to get that run game going.
16:35They want to make it easier.
16:36Soften up the defense so that it's easier for Dylan Gabriel to then go over the top and complete some of these passes.
16:42Chuckens only has seven carries for 17 yards today.
16:45He's explosive.
16:46You want to let him be explosive.
16:49Chuckens had the huge game last week against Minnesota.
16:52Went for 110 yards on the ground.
16:54First Browns rookie with 100-plus yards since Nick Chubb in 2018.
16:58Gabriel hit as he throws.
17:01Incomplete Steelers came over.
17:02Get on the ball.
17:04You have to get on the ball in those situations if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers.
17:07You don't know if that's an incomplete pass or a fumble.
17:10They threw the blue beanie.
17:11That's a fumble.
17:12They are giving the football to Pittsburgh.
17:15Penalty marker down on the play.
17:16That's at the 27-yard line.
17:18Ruling on the field is that the quarterback's hand came forward without control of the ball.
17:22Fumble recovered by the defense.
17:24However, offside.
17:26Defense number 90 lined up in the neutral zone.
17:28It's a five-yard penalty.
17:30Repeat second down.
17:31I think Ron Torbert may have buried the lead for this fan base in the stadium.
17:35They thought they were ready to celebrate.
17:37Instead, it's a penalty against the Steelers.
17:41I think the hand might have been coming forward with the ball anyway.
17:44Be interested to see this neutral zone infraction because it's something that we've been seeing
17:48on the sideline all day long with both T.J. Watt and Mike Tomlin talking to the referees about it.
17:56Very vehemently arguing their case.
17:59And some more frustration brewing there, I'm sure.
18:02Second down and one here for the Browns.
18:08After the penalty, Jutkins in the backfield.
18:11They send an extra body there.
18:13And more flags.
18:17Ball start.
18:18Offense number 68.
18:19Five-yard penalty.
18:20Second down.
18:21And it's Cam Robinson.
18:22So this was the previous call with Watt lining up there.
18:36Don't really have a great look at it there.
18:39Certainly doesn't leave early.
18:40You just have to imagine that the refs saw a helmet or something lined up in the neutral zone.
18:45But like we've said, they've been having that conversation all day long with the referees.
18:50Second down and six.
18:51After the penalty, Gabriel gets rid of it.
18:53And Bumble.
18:56Incomplete.
18:58Slay, first man there.
19:00Then Queen tried to get under it for the INT.
19:04Fannin the intended target.
19:08Just a really nice break on the ball here by Darius Slay, a veteran who's seen it all.
19:13And he's able to break it up.
19:15Not quite get the interception.
19:17Patrick Queen tries to dive and save it, but good job there.
19:21Brings up third down and kind of a back-and-forth opening drive here with a couple penalties.
19:26They've left T.J. Watt one-on-one so far.
19:30And he's been in the backfield twice.
19:34Let's see if they do it again here if Njoku chips.
19:36And he does.
19:37Gabriel.
19:38He tried to swing it out.
19:40Instead, it gets knocked down.
19:42T.J. Watt ready.
19:47So he's going to get a chip from the tight end.
19:50He's going to get a chip from the running back.
19:52And you're going to get the tackle blocking him.
19:54And you just got to find a way to affect the play.
19:57T.J. Watt, Miles Garrett, that's what they do.
20:00Every team knows that they're the game wreckers.
20:03They're the ones that can change the whole game.
20:05So they throw bodies at them.
20:07And both of those guys find ways to have success, even when teams game plan.
20:12It's a tall order.
20:13Rookie quarterback going against this Steelers defense.
20:15Maybe the numbers aren't what they're accustomed to, but still just a four-game sample.
20:20You know eventually the Pittsburgh defensive numbers will improve.
20:23And he gets all of this one.
20:32Keyshawn Williams backpedaling.
20:34He handles it at the seven.
20:41Dropped at the 21.
20:4214-yard return.
20:43A 67-yard punt.
20:46Steelers with possession of 9-3 at home.
20:49Back here at Akersher Stadium in Pittsburgh.
20:56How do you guarantee yourself to get on television?
21:00Yeah, just travel a fathead of the play-by-play man.
21:05Oh, what a mischievous smile on that guy.
21:08That's a 100% hit rate.
21:12Thank you.
21:12I need that for my office.
21:15I almost said bedroom, and that is...
21:17Almost got real weird.
21:18That's where maybe we would have changed the subject.
21:22Lineup at the 21.
21:24Pitch it to Jalen Warren.
21:27And he stacked up.
21:29Carson Swessinger leading that charge.
21:32Penalty marker on the play.
21:34There's going to be a hold on the offense here.
21:37Holding.
21:38Offense number 74.
21:4110-yard penalty.
21:42Repeat first down.
21:43The penalty kiss of death, mentioning the Steelers' impressive numbers.
21:47That's their seven.
21:48All right, top of the class.
21:49NFL ranked since 2017.
21:51Yeah, you've got some really impressive people in the classroom.
21:55But one and two have been Watt and Garrett.
21:59And as a defensive guy, an edge rusher, somebody who loves to watch great football players, these two are truly just a joy to watch.
22:09Miles Garrett does so many different things, from power to speed to that Eurostep.
22:13T.J. Watt being able to do it, sacking the quarterback, batting down the balls, interceptions.
22:19These two are fun to watch for anybody in both future Hall of Famers.
22:22Catch and curl by Gainwell.
22:24And he took a shot there from Grant Delpit at the end of the play.
22:31Early stages, third quarter.
22:33Steelers are nursing a 9-3 lead against the Browns.
22:36They pick up five yards.
22:37Going to go with a three tight end set here.
22:43Steelers come in 29th in total offense, or 17th in scoring.
22:48Running game they finally got going two weeks ago, their last game against Minnesota.
22:53But they're 31st in rushing yards, 80 per game.
22:57Got 47 today.
22:59Rodgers throws it.
23:00Open look for Friermuth.
23:03The fans get to chant Muth because it's his first catch of the day.
23:08Devin Bush, the former Steeler, nudged him out of bounds.
23:11That's good for 11 yards.
23:12That's a chant we haven't heard much this year.
23:15Ian with Pat Friermuth not being quite as involved in the offense as he was last year.
23:20But if Rodgers can find him in those quick rhythm throws,
23:25and he gets open on those stick routes towards the edge,
23:28it's a nice way to keep the offense on time,
23:30and they needed to get a little bit back to make this more of a third and manageable.
23:35Steelers play in a lot of close games.
23:37That's exactly the situation they're in today with the Cleveland Browns, third and fourth.
23:42Rodgers pats the ball.
23:43He throws it, and it bounces off of Metcalf.
23:47Coverage from Denzel Ward.
23:49Rodgers wants a penalty.
23:51Not going to get it.
23:52The Steelers will punt.
23:58Let's take a look at the ISO here.
24:00You got DK Metcalf on the outside.
24:03I think it's a good no call.
24:05I really do.
24:06I think that it was more after the ball was put on DK.
24:09There didn't seem to be a lot there.
24:15So it's Corliss Waitman to boot it away.
24:19First three and out of the day for this Pittsburgh offense.
24:23Oh, they got some good pressure.
24:24Waitman goes down.
24:25Flag is dropped.
24:27It's handled.
24:29On the puck return.
24:30It is Larva Dan.
24:35And that's going to be a first down.
24:37It's only fourth and four.
24:40Five?
24:40Fourth and four.
24:41Yeah.
24:42Penalty marker thrown down at the 17-yard line.
24:51Waitman gets it off cleanly.
24:53Canewell was blocking.
24:56Running into the kicker.
24:58By the defense.
25:00It's a five-yard penalty.
25:01Will result in a first down.
25:03And it's Cameron Thomas that will give the Steelers a first down.
25:07In these AFC North games, the score is 9-3.
25:10You just can't be giving up extra possessions to your opponent.
25:15And that is a huge play right there.
25:18Getting Aaron Rodgers and the offense back on the field.
25:20All right, let's bring in Gene Steritory.
25:23Just watch the play happen and the replay.
25:26Gene, what did you see?
25:27Yeah, I think what you look at, Ian, is Gainwell engaged with the defensive player
25:31and blocking him into the kicker.
25:34If he is blocking him into the kicker, then he's absolved from that contact.
25:38You can see Gainwell on the side there now.
25:40Is Thomas past Gainwell?
25:42Well, to me, he's still engaged with Gainwell.
25:44And it looks like he's being blocked into.
25:46And in those cases, I think you pass on that contact because you have engagement.
25:49You can see clearly there the Gainwell's attached with Thomas.
25:54So that penalty works in favor of the Steelers.
26:00And this Pittsburgh drive remains alive at the 11.47 mark of the third.
26:07They go with the extra offensive lineman, Spencer Anderson.
26:10Two tight ends, Smith and Washington.
26:12Warren by himself in the backfield.
26:18Jet sweep.
26:19Johnny Smith.
26:22Smith, physical runner.
26:25Tough to bring down at 6'3", 248.
26:28Sent it down to Evan.
26:29Well, the Steelers offense with new life here.
26:31Talking to Mike Tomlin at halftime.
26:32And his main message was, we have to finish drives with touchdowns.
26:36Saying we've been stalled for one reason or another.
26:38And fellas, I got a new Tomlinism.
26:40I'm not really sure what he meant.
26:41He said, we need to get the loose change out of our lives.
26:44It has something to do with touchdowns versus field goals, I think.
26:48We need someone to come in and actually tell us what the Tomlinisms actually mean.
26:57So he's a fan of taking pennies out of circulation, it sounds like.
27:00That's right.
27:01What was the one this week that had you in a little bit of a quandary?
27:06Chew with their mouth closed.
27:07Yeah.
27:08He said the Browns offense chews with their mouth closed.
27:12Meaning, I think, Evan asked him to clarify, but I think he means that they don't screw it
27:17up before they get started.
27:19Correct, JJ.
27:20Risk averse offense.
27:22Chew with your mouth closed.
27:23It's good advice.
27:26I just couldn't follow it, man.
27:28First down to the 42.
27:31Warren spins his way into Cleveland territory.
27:36Good block from Broderick Jones on that left side to help spring Warren for 11.
27:41You're going to see the right defensive end, Cameron Thomas, go underneath Broderick.
27:45And he just blocks him down, creating a big hole on the outside for Jalen Warren to make
27:50his one cut and burst through.
27:54And now the Steelers picking up some steam here.
27:59Warren couldn't participate in the victory over Minnesota in Ireland because of a knee injury.
28:06And he just said it was great seeing the guys go and ball out, but he hated watching and not playing.
28:14Fake it.
28:15Rogers.
28:16A deep one on the way.
28:20Doesn't work out.
28:21Metcalf was trying to work his way towards the end zone, realized the ball wasn't going to quite get there,
28:28and the timing was off.
28:30Aaron Rogers has been talking all week long about how the reason for all the short throws
28:34is because teams are running cover two against them,
28:37and they're not able to get those guys open down the field to throw the ball.
28:41And then they finally get the chance here as DK breaks free,
28:44and he's just not able to get it down there.
28:47Arthur Smith said this week, throwing deep balls is much more than just Uncle Rico launching it down the field.
28:54Well, right there, we kind of needed Uncle Rico just to launch it down the field.
28:58I want steak all of a sudden.
29:01Badly.
29:02Tupperware?
29:03A throw from Rogers.
29:04This one is on time to Metcalf.
29:08First down and then some.
29:13Well, didn't work on the last play, so you're just going to find a way.
29:17DK's over here.
29:18He's going to run an in route at about five yards.
29:20Aaron Rogers on the move, finds him in wide open space
29:24and able to make up for a little bit of the hurt
29:27of not being able to connect on that previous long pass.
29:3125-yard pass play, and the Steelers now in business.
29:36Rogers is 15 of 24, 160 yards.
29:40The Browns have not allowed a 300-yard passer in 33 straight games.
29:45That's the longest active streak of the NFL.
29:49That's a handoff.
29:51And busting through.
29:55Jalen Warren.
29:57He brings so much juice.
30:0011 yards.
30:01What a great cut here by Jalen Warren.
30:04Johnnie Smith is going to come over and kick out Devin Bush.
30:08And Jalen Warren sets up the block perfectly,
30:12makes a jump cut off of it, and finishes.
30:20Got an 8.47 to go on the third.
30:25Rushing yards now for Pittsburgh, starting to pile up.
30:3278 on the ground, just 35 for Cleveland.
30:35It's another run.
30:36Now, Warren gets stacked up by Alex Riding Company.
30:40One-yard pickup.
30:41It's a nice tackle by Alex right there.
30:44They're running the zone read.
30:46But it's pretty tough to sell the zone read
30:48when Aaron Rogers is the quarterback.
30:50I don't think there's a whole lot of threat
30:51of him keeping it and burning the edge.
31:00Jim Schwartz's defense, they've been excellent,
31:02but if you're specifically looking at red zone,
31:05that's where it's been a challenge for the Browns.
31:12Line of scrimmage, just shy of the 11th.
31:14Tenth play of the drive.
31:16Rogers, sprint out.
31:19On the move, directing traffic.
31:20Throws!
31:23Touchdown!
31:23There's a lot to watch on this play.
31:46Jalen Warren, first of all, with a beautiful cut block on Alex Wright
31:49to give Aaron some time.
31:50And then Aaron Rogers is going to do something
31:51they tell you never to do.
31:53Don't throw across your body,
31:55especially when you're running to your right
31:57while your receiver's going back the other way.
31:59But there's a reason that man's a Hall of Famer.
32:02He's able to do some things on his team.
32:05Extra point from Boswell is perfect.
32:08The Steelers finally get the touchdown
32:12they've been searching for today.
32:1312 yards.
32:16Aaron Rogers
32:17to the end zone.
32:21Hayward.
32:22Oh, brother.
32:23The NFL on CBS
32:29is sponsored by Old Spice.
32:33Men have skin too.
32:36Little Caesars.
32:38The official pizza sponsor of the NFL.
32:41And by AT&T.
32:44Connecting changes everything.
32:4616-3, the Steelers on top of the Browns
32:55with 7.46 to play in this third quarter.
32:58Here we go.
32:59Very slowly.
33:03Boswell kicks it off.
33:06Sampson return man from the one.
33:09He's got a crease.
33:12And he got hit down low
33:13as he crossed the 30-yard line by Wilson.
33:16Saturday, 3.30 Eastern.
33:17Big time in Madison.
33:19Number one, Ohio State.
33:21The Buckeyes visit Wisconsin.
33:23College football today
33:24gets you set for kickoff at 2.30
33:26right here on CBS
33:27and streaming on Paramount+.
33:29Yeah, there's a lot of
33:35Ohio State-Wisconsin representation
33:37on this Pittsburgh defense.
33:41Yep.
33:42When I was there,
33:43we beat number one Ohio State
33:44in Camp Randall Stadium.
33:45I'm just going to say that.
33:48Did somebody ask you?
33:50No.
33:50Hey, what did you do
33:51when you played that game?
33:53Oh, my gosh.
33:53Let's take you back.
33:54JJ, what exactly was going on here?
33:57Oh, my gosh.
33:57I was fat
33:58and I had a weird
33:59and I had a weird facial hair
34:00situation going on.
34:02What?
34:03What size was your shirt collar?
34:07I don't know.
34:07Do we want to tie a tie?
34:08I have a chin strap going on.
34:10That is a bad look.
34:13A lot of Mickey's Dairy Bar
34:14in my system.
34:15And some other things.
34:16Yeah, I was going to say,
34:17you led with that.
34:18Yeah.
34:18I feel like Spotted Cow
34:20might have been involved.
34:23I've taken down
34:23a few cows in my day.
34:25Second down at seven
34:27with a timeout taken.
34:28Pittsburgh, 30 seconds.
34:32NFL Today update.
34:34Let's look at Adam Schein's
34:36college photos.
34:37Adam.
34:37Well, I'd prefer if you didn't tie it,
34:39but I can tell you
34:40that the Ravens offense
34:41is pretty as that
34:42J.J. Watt's picture.
34:45Zay Flowers' fumble
34:46leads to this.
34:47Matthew Stafford
34:48to Tyler Higbee.
34:49Two Rams touchdowns
34:51in 92 seconds.
34:53Yikes.
34:53Hmm.
34:5417-3.
34:56And that's the story
34:57here in the AFC North.
34:59A Pittsburgh win.
35:01And they are
35:01widening the gap.
35:04Cincinnati, Baltimore, Cleveland
35:06all under .500.
35:08It's the first divisional game
35:11for the Steelers this season.
35:13Browns are trying to snap
35:15a 21-game regular season
35:17losing streak here
35:18in Pittsburgh.
35:22Shotgun for Sampson.
35:25Gabriel will throw it.
35:27And Joku
35:28with the catch.
35:30Check it with Evan.
35:32Injury along that
35:33Browns offensive line, guys.
35:34Right tackle Jack Conklin
35:35currently in the locker room
35:36as David and Joku
35:37now down as well.
35:39He's being evaluated
35:40for a concussion.
35:41Obviously protects that blind side
35:42for left-handed quarterback
35:43Dylan Gamriel.
35:44KT Leveston
35:45will step in at right tackle
35:47and keep you updated on
35:48Njoku.
35:49And Evan,
35:50they do help Njoku
35:51up to his feet.
35:52He's been banged around
35:53here this afternoon.
35:56You know,
35:57it's interesting
35:58when we asked
35:58Dylan Gabriel
35:59about this team
36:02and the rookies coming in
36:03and bringing a lot of pride.
36:05He said,
36:06there's a will to win here.
36:09You could feel it.
36:11Progression is the discomfort
36:13of growth.
36:14We're going to get there,
36:15but it has to be proven
36:16through action.
36:17And you got to win some games
36:19to convince some people
36:20that you're ready
36:21to take the next step.
36:21Exactly.
36:22And he kind of understood
36:23that balance of
36:24needing to bring
36:25the new energy in life,
36:27but also respecting
36:28those veterans
36:29and guys that are in there.
36:30Third and one.
36:32On the roll,
36:33Gabriel will throw it.
36:34And he's got Judy
36:35walking the tightrope.
36:38First down,
36:39Cleveland quiets the crowd.
36:42They sprint out to the left,
36:44which is very helpful
36:45for a left-handed quarterback
36:47because he's just throwing
36:48in the direction of his arm
36:50and then Judy does
36:50a fantastic job
36:52walking that tightrope.
36:56Really had a nice day
36:58out of him
36:58since that first drop
36:59early on.
37:02Judy with five catches,
37:0443 yards.
37:08He's got elite speed
37:09and ability after the catch
37:11to make things happen.
37:13First down,
37:14under six minutes
37:14to go in the third.
37:15Fick the handoff.
37:16Gabriel is going to throw it.
37:18Knocked off
37:19and nearly intercepted.
37:20By Herbig.
37:23He was looking for Judkins.
37:26That's really the first mistake
37:28that we've seen today
37:29out of Dylan Gabriel.
37:30And he's lucky
37:31he's not punished for it here.
37:32But he just doesn't see
37:34Nick Herbig
37:34sitting out there
37:35in the flat
37:36covering his swing
37:37right out of the backfield
37:37to Judkins.
37:39And Herbig is going to be
37:40watching that one tomorrow,
37:41frustrated that he wasn't
37:42able to bring it down.
37:43It's funny,
37:45when we asked Judkins
37:46about running backs
37:47that he watched growing up,
37:48he said,
37:48no,
37:49I watch wide receivers.
37:51Back go,
37:51Antonio Brown,
37:52Jarvis,
37:53Landry,
37:53just like watching
37:54their movements.
37:56Obviously,
37:57Judkins has emerged
37:58as a tough-flight rookie
38:00running back.
38:02Sling it over the middle,
38:03catches made by Fennett.
38:05And he's not going down
38:06on first contact.
38:08Eventually down at the 35.
38:10Dillon Gabriel has history
38:14with Nick Herbig
38:16way back
38:17in high school.
38:192018 Open State Championship
38:22in Hawaii.
38:24And it was Herbig
38:25who owned the night.
38:26Yeah,
38:27and he's going to be
38:27more frustrated
38:28about that missed interception
38:30because,
38:31as Dillon Gabriel
38:32told us yesterday,
38:32he said,
38:33please don't show the highlights
38:34because Herbig was ruining
38:35it for us.
38:36And Herbig wanted
38:37another one down there
38:38to have some bragging rights.
38:40But that,
38:41some phenomenal
38:42high school football
38:42going on out there
38:43in Hawaii.
38:44And what did we do?
38:45We showed the highlights.
38:46We did.
38:47Yep.
38:48Darius Slay,
38:49the injured stealer
38:50on the play,
38:51he's up on his feet
38:52and walking off
38:53being accompanied
38:54by the athletic
38:55training staff.
38:59Speaking of injuries,
39:00that Browns O-line
39:01with Conklin
39:03being in the locker room
39:03being checked
39:04for a concussion.
39:05They now have
39:06Cam Robinson
39:06at left tackle
39:07who just arrived
39:08a couple weeks ago.
39:09They have Conklin
39:09out,
39:10and they put
39:10KT Leveston in there.
39:12Those tackle positions
39:13have been rotating
39:14all year long.
39:15The interior
39:16have been extremely solid
39:17between Betonio,
39:18Posick,
39:19and Keller.
39:19But those tackle spots
39:21are tough
39:21and you would expect
39:22to see a little more help
39:23for those guys
39:25as they try
39:25and contain
39:26these edge rushers.
39:27And that would be
39:27officially the 12th
39:29different combination
39:30that they've had
39:30on the offensive line.
39:32This is game number six
39:33for the Cleveland Browns.
39:35Ramsey can line up
39:39at that other corner spot
39:40along with Porter
39:41with Slay on the sideline.
39:43The toss by Gabriel
39:44to hit White Hart.
39:47You can feel it.
39:49Cole Holcomb
39:49holds him to no gain.
39:51Here's the hit by Holcomb.
39:57But you can see it.
39:58We were just talking
39:58about those tackles
39:59and how it's the 12th
40:00combination.
40:01They kept both tight ends
40:02extended time
40:04to help block up front
40:05before slipping out
40:07into their routes
40:08because they don't want
40:09to give a free rush
40:10to those Steelers
40:12edge rushers.
40:14Second attempt.
40:15Four and a half
40:16to play in the third.
40:21145 yards of offense
40:22for the Cleveland Browns.
40:24Gabriel
40:24out of the pocket
40:26throws on the move
40:27and off the hands
40:29of Fannin.
40:32It was well placed.
40:33Gabriel took a shot
40:34from Highsmith
40:35just as he released it.
40:38Harold Fannin
40:39was leading the Browns
40:40in receptions
40:41coming into today
40:42and he is going to
40:42want this one back.
40:44That's a beautifully
40:45placed football
40:46from Dylan Gabriel
40:47right on the sideline
40:48between two guys
40:50while taking a hit
40:52and you could argue
40:53that one was up high.
40:56But man,
40:56that's a play
40:57that Harold Fannin
40:59is going to want back
40:59in his young career
41:00to see if Dylan Gabriel
41:01gives him a chance
41:02to make up for it.
41:05It's a shoulder injury
41:07for Slay.
41:08His return is questionable.
41:09This is a third and ten
41:10for Cleveland.
41:11Gabriel
41:12over the middle.
41:13That one's dropped.
41:15Najoku.
41:17Gabriel is not getting
41:18help right now
41:19from his wide receivers
41:21and tight ends.
41:22No.
41:23That ball just a touch
41:25behind Najoku.
41:26You're going to see it here.
41:27It kind of hits him
41:27in the back hip.
41:28He's still going to
41:29want to bring it in.
41:30That's still a ball
41:30that you want to catch,
41:31but you're right,
41:32and you have to help
41:33out your young quarterback.
41:35This game is already
41:36tough as it is.
41:37Playing against Minnesota
41:38last week,
41:39playing against the
41:40Pittsburgh Steelers
41:40this week on the road.
41:42You have to do everything
41:43you can to help this guy.
41:44It's going to be
41:45a 53-yard attempt
41:46for Andre Schmidt,
41:48Lou Groza award winner
41:50in 2018
41:51as a freshman.
41:53Schmidt
41:53drives it.
41:57Connects
41:57to cut into
41:59the Steelers' lead.
42:0116-6.
42:02Pittsburgh
42:034-0-8
42:04remaining.
42:05Third quarter
42:06here on CBS.
42:10The amazing shots
42:11of today's game
42:12are provided by
42:13Nationwide.
42:17A pair of field goals
42:18for the Cleveland Browns,
42:20and they trail
42:21the Steelers
42:2116-6.
42:27Kickoff from Schmidt.
42:33And this is going
42:34to be Gainwell
42:35on the return.
42:38Squeezes through
42:39but comes up short
42:40off the 30-yard line.
42:42One of the key matchups.
42:44You got Metcalf
42:44going against Campbell
42:45today.
42:46Yeah, this has been
42:47a great battle
42:48all day long,
42:49and I don't know
42:49if people fully understand
42:51just how impressive
42:52it is what Tyson Campbell
42:53has had to do this week.
42:54Plays a full game
42:55on Monday night
42:56in Jacksonville
42:57against the Kansas City Chiefs.
42:58Gets traded Wednesday night,
43:00flies to Cleveland
43:01on Thursday,
43:02arrives at noon,
43:03immediately hits
43:04the practice field.
43:04As Miles Garrett said,
43:06a lot of highs and buys.
43:07Doesn't really get much.
43:09And then he comes out here
43:10in Pittsburgh
43:11and has to go one-on-one
43:12against D.K. Metcalf.
43:14He's done a nice job.
43:15D.K. had the one long one
43:16that he got behind him,
43:17but Aaron Rodgers
43:18wasn't able to connect.
43:21On the ground,
43:23Cainwell
43:24carries it
43:25for a first down.
43:26Jones leading the way
43:29on the offensive line.
43:31Adam Schein
43:31in New York.
43:33All right, and J.J.,
43:34how about this?
43:34Developing situation
43:36in Indy.
43:37Jacoby Bursette
43:38to Greg Dortch.
43:40Seriously.
43:4112-yard score.
43:4224-17 cards
43:44in Indy.
43:45Fourth quarter
43:45about to start.
43:46Back to you.
43:47Yeah, Kyler Murray out.
43:49So, Bursette going
43:50against the former team
43:51and certainly handling
43:54his business as usual.
43:56Cainwell met by Delpit.
43:59Steelers go back-to-back
44:00on the ground.
44:02And I think something
44:03to watch as this game
44:04goes on.
44:05The middle of this field
44:06is getting pretty beat up.
44:07You can see as these guys
44:08are going,
44:09there's a lot of sand
44:09being kicked up.
44:10From our view here
44:11in the press box,
44:12you can just see.
44:14It's starting to kind of
44:15ball in the center
44:16between those hashes.
44:18And we're going to see
44:18if it affects
44:19anybody's footwork.
44:21Yeah, it looks like
44:21late into the second
44:22week at Wimbledon.
44:25It is.
44:26Alcarez center.
44:28Not a great look
44:28in the middle of the field.
44:29Rogers throws it.
44:31Roman Wilson
44:32with the grab.
44:35Steelers fans
44:35have been waiting
44:36to see what Wilson
44:37can do for this team.
44:39Known as a playmaker
44:40at Michigan.
44:41And he's got the Steelers
44:42a first down.
44:43Downstairs to Evan.
44:44Well, I'm here
44:45for all field conditions
44:47talk, fellas.
44:48This field will be
44:49re-sodded after this game.
44:51It's the third Steelers game,
44:52including the preseason
44:53in this stadium.
44:55But then you've got
44:55four Pitt home games
44:57as well.
44:57So it's taken a beating.
44:59They hope to get
44:59through this game,
45:00obviously unscathed.
45:01And then there will be
45:02new sod here for the next
45:03home game for the Steelers.
45:05That's a great update.
45:06That's Evan doing work.
45:07Yep.
45:08He doesn't even know
45:08if we're going to talk
45:09about this.
45:10And he's ready for it.
45:11Hand-off to Warren.
45:15Uh-oh.
45:16Shifty move by Warren.
45:17He's not going to go down.
45:18Nine-yard pickup
45:22for Jalen Warren.
45:25He plays at one speed.
45:26It's just that toughness
45:30that gets your entire team
45:32going.
45:33The ability to have guys
45:34bounce off you.
45:36Plow through arm tackles.
45:38That's what offensive linemen
45:40love when a running back
45:41has the same attitude
45:43that they have.
45:45Really nice run there.
45:46Come now.
45:47Fun to talk.
45:47All right.
45:47Fine.
45:47Funny- Article.
45:48Bye-bye.
45:49Bye-bye.
45:49Bye-bye.
45:53Bye-bye.
45:59Bye-bye.
46:02Bye.
