Jon Gruden Reveals Why Browns Will Beat Steelers

Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden has predicted the Cleveland Browns will defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers 17-13 in their upcoming divisional matchup. Gruden pointed to the Browns' emerging offense facing Pittsburgh's defense, alongside Mike McCarthy shifting the Steelers toward a run-heavy attack, forecasting a tight contest despite Cleveland's long-standing historical struggles in Pittsburgh.

The Browns enter the game with a 5-2 record under head coach Todd Monken, aiming to overcome a regular-season losing streak in Pittsburgh dating back to 2003 and achieve their first season sweep of the Steelers since 1988. Browns players Jared Verse, Denzel Ward, and Denzel Boston emphasized that the team is focused solely on the present rather than past franchise history.
