In a defensive duel, the Steelers hold a 9-3 halftime lead over the Browns in an AFC North Week 6 showdown.
The Steelers took a 9-0 lead after Chris Boswell made all three of his first half field goal attempts. Boswell’s kicks were largely set up by timely completions from Aaron Rodgers and a running game that ran for a respectable 46 yards on 13 carries against the NFL’s top-ranked run defense. The Browns did force the Steelers to settle for field goals, however, after coming up with some big third-down stops.
Led by rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, the Browns’ offense did virtually nothing for most of the first half before finally putting together a scoring drive at the end of the half. Gabriel, who is looking to help the Browns snap their 21-year drought without a regular season win in Pittsburgh, went 13 of 18 for 92 yards in the first half. He was sacked three times by the Steelers’ aggressive defense.
