Jalen Ramsey Logs First Career Two-Sack Game in Steelers’ 23-9 Win Over Browns

The showing reinforced Pittsburgh’s June bet on his versatility after a recent hamstring scare.

Overview

  • Active two weeks after a Week 4 hamstring injury, Ramsey played 58 defensive snaps on a managed workload and finished with two sacks, six tackles, two tackles for loss and two quarterback hits.
  • The Steelers’ defense produced six sacks and held Cleveland to three field goals, limiting the Browns to 183 passing yards and 65 rushing yards.
  • Head coach Mike Tomlin lauded Ramsey’s ability to play outside corner, nickel and free safety, while quarterback Aaron Rodgers praised his decision to suit up on a short week.
  • Pittsburgh fielded a healthier unit with Joey Porter Jr. and Alex Highsmith back, enabling the flexible secondary deployment coaches envisioned after acquiring Ramsey from Miami.
  • Mike Tomlin said special-teams captain Myles Killebrew sustained a significant knee injury, with a Thursday divisional game against Cincinnati now on deck.
