Browns win in the end on the type of game we have seen them lose all too often to the Steelers.
Go Browns!!
Happy for DTR....could see that win meant a lot him.
So nice to finally have a kicker.

What a gritty win. Good for DTR. First NFL win againt a division rival. Hopkins is so clutch.

I don’t care how we do it at the end of the day. A win is a win, especially against the Steelers!!!

Glad we saw DTR finally get unleashed a little on that last drive. that was promising going forward. Overall, just not upset with anything today. It was a good transition to life post DW this season. Now go win out. GO BROWNS!

That was a tough defense for DTR, and he was not pretty but came through at the end. He can get better and the defenses will get easier. Hopkins is this team’s MVP. He may be having the greatest season any NFL kicker has ever had.

When was the last time we were 7-3 1994. Browns got to 8-2. It's been 4 decades! Before that...1989.

We win a tough game and despite some wobbly decisions we showed winning mentality it when we needed it most it in the second half. Hats off to our coaches and players. It wasn’t pretty but a W tastes so much better when we have some difficulties.

Last time we were 7-3 at this point was 2020 when we finished 11-5. What sucks is with a healthy Chubb we might be 9-1 at this point

DTR never gave up, right until the very end. He fits right in with this team. Next week he'll be given more options and freedom.

What did I Hate? Stefanski making no O adjustments after it was blatantly obvious the Squealers were defending just 5-7 yards off the line of scrimmage. Essentially turning our Offense into a "Goal Line" offense pretty much the entire 2nd half. Stinkfanski's predictable play calls. Taking too long to give DTR a little bit more. Chief dropping too many passes. Squealers. I hate the Squealers.
What did I Love? The D still playing their game despite a surging run game from the Squealers. Chief with the clutch catch when we needed it. Hunt taking that handoff with a vengeance. DTR delivering a couple strikes right when we needed it. D-Hop Eeeking out a win against a Division rival to go 7-3 and a 3-2 Division record. Jim Donovan coming back to call a win this season!
Go Browns

Now go win out. GO BROWNS! What if that was stefanski’s plan all along? To lure the Steelers into a false sense of security that everything would be short? /tin foil hat

Good win.
Njoku would be my negative comment. He has been dropping the ball the last few games.
I thought the gameplan was solid. I wanted them to open it a bit more in the 2nd half as the Steelers were squatting the run game and pass game, but the plan was field position, so good discipline in sticking to the plan.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. GM Strong

I was getting frustrated by our play caller not trying to get it down the field on deeper pass plays. I was irritated by Njoku’s drops, to say the least. But just when things seemed it would go the usual Brownsian way, our D got a big stop and KS took the reins off DTR, who made some clutch throws on the final drive. Our kicker is 💰 . Love Hopkins!
7-3, (five of the last six with three different starting QBs!), one up on Pitt and hot on the heels of Baltimore. I want the North title.
Let’s go!!

Happy as a clam we won. Prayed again for a victory.
It was a rough game on offense.
Biggest negative would be Njoku is dropping passes again.
Biggest positive would be our new kicker Hopkins.
DTR looked like a million pounds was off his shoulders after the game. I bet when he finds a quiet place he has a good cry - A VICTORY cry!
Thank God we beat the Steelers!!!

- Hopkins trade continues to pay off ... the most underrated move we've made - DTR finally looked loose the last drive .. and good job to simplify things for him - Defense stepped up big the last two drives for them - Ward was phenomenal - I'd like Jones back in for Hudson ASAP - Jaylen Warren is a KILLER for us ... if I was a Pittsburgh fan I'd want him to get 10 more touches
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

When was the last time we were 7-3 Nineteen sixty four?
Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Im glad DTR go the win. Huge confidence booster, especially after such a rough 2nd half performance.
But that last drive was money. Hopefully Stefanski trust him a bit more going into next week. He has the arm, just needs to develop touch.

Of all the teams remaining on the schedule, Well the Browns don't have a real @uarterback, I don't know where the points are going to come from but Of all the teams remaining, and some of them have pretty good defenses
but
none of them have a defense as riddled with talent as Baltimore's Pittsburghs'
the forty niners' or Seattles'
and you are 3 and 3 against ^those.
You have to be able to go out there and get another win, ...one at a time...
because it's real easy to believe that , if the browns Offense can't get it done, the Browns could go one and six or 0 and seven the rest of the year if they don't get a @uarterback
YOU ARE NOT ONLY PLAYING DENVER NEXT WEEK, you are playing Every team in the AFC West in tie breakers
and Denver, had the best special teams in the league .

This game could have easily been a loss, not only because of all the talent that has been striped away from this team, not only because of the complete lack consistency that losing all these players cause, but because it takes a lot to not feel defeated after all this stuff has happened to you.
But this Browns team don't fold like that. They don't stop until the game is over. So fun to watch and root for.

They really only had one good play against us that's it. Our O was pretty tough to look at too but understandable with DTR in there. We made the plays when we had to. I think DTR definitely has upside. Showed some guts on that last drive!! Green Bay helped us today. Go Vikings tonight!!!!

I honestly believe Hopkins is more deserving of the guaranteed $230 million contract. After years of terrible FG kickers, he has been a real difference maker. Without him, this team may have a .500 record or worse. Thank God times appear to be changing in the Browns favor.
