While Browns quarterback Jameis Winston hit Jerry Jeudy for a 35-yard touchdown midway through the first quarter, Winston also threw a pick that set up Pittsburgh’s only touchdown of the first half.

Winston looked for Nick Chubb on a screen, but the ball was intercepted by defender Keeanu Benton instead. Najee Harris scored a 1-yard touchdown to make it 10-7 for Pittsburgh.

The club extended its lead to 13-7 on Chris Boswell’s 54-yard field goal with 4:21 left in the second quarter. It was Boswell’s 11th field goal of at least 50 yards this season. He also shot from 30 yards in the first quarter, scoring the first goal.

The Browns had a shot to make it 13-10 late in the second quarter, but Dustin Hopkins missed a 38-yard field goal wide left.
