Week 4 of the NFL season is getting started in Cleveland.
The Cleveland Browns will face off with their AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers as Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers prepares to make the final Thursday Night Football appearance of his 22-season career, just one TNF win shy of tying Tom Brady’s Thursday Night win record (14).
Heading into this week of games, the AFC North is the only division where every team has a winning record — and thanks to a shock 2-1 start, the Browns find themselves above .500 for the first time since 2023.
