Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, October 12, 2025

PITTSBURGH — Dillon Gabriel suffered the same fate in Pittsburgh on Sunday that Joe Flacco had in many of his games this season: He didn’t get much help from his skill players.

What’s more, he got pounded all game by the relentless Steelers, who beat the Browns 23-9 to drop them to 1-5. Taking advantage of more Browns tackle and protection woes, they sacked him six times and hit him 16 times.
