Steelers Crush Browns, Move to 6-2: Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Warren & a Dominant Defense

Season 1 · Episode 190

Tuesday, November 3, 2026 • Duration 40:16

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 6-2, riding a four-game winning streak, and sitting atop the AFC North after a dominant win over the Cleveland Browns.

Larry Richert, Jay Caufield and Dave Racchini break down a statement performance that featured a punishing Steelers rushing attack, eight sacks from the defense, another huge game from Jalen Warren, and Aaron Rodgers continuing to command the offense. They also debate Mason McCormick’s tone-setting moment, why the Rodgers-DK Metcalf connection still isn’t clicking, and whether Pittsburgh should make a move at wide receiver before the trade deadline.

Plus, the guys discuss T.J. Watt, Patrick Queen and a Steelers defense that appears to be hitting its stride, why the Browns game was so comfortable that “Renegade” never even played, and where Pittsburgh now ranks among the AFC’s best teams.

Around the NFL, they dig into Lamar Jackson and Baltimore’s problems, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Denver, Dallas and more before the Big Man Blitz, Blind Side, Bad Beats and Kalshi Prediction of the Week. Jay also gives an update on Austin Lemieux’s golf journey before the guys close with a Pittsburgh sports-themed Election Day question.
