- Rookie Shedeur Sanders finished 17-of-23 for 186 yards with a 28-yard touchdown to Harold Fannin Jr. and two interceptions, while Andre Szmyt hit field goals from 50 and 33 yards.
- The Week 18 game in Pittsburgh will decide the AFC North and the conference’s final playoff berth, with the Steelers at 9-7 and the Ravens at 8-8.
- Myles Garrett did not record a sack, so the single-season mark shared by Michael Strahan and T. J. Watt remains intact heading into the regular-season finale.
- Pittsburgh played without suspended receiver DK Metcalf and the injured T. J. Watt and Calvin Austin III, lost tight end Darnell Washington to a broken arm, and leaned on quick throws to limit Cleveland’s pass rush.
