In the first half, the Steelers offense managed to gain 163 yards. Russell Wilson was efficient, completing 11 out of 13 passes for 147 yards. However, he was sacked 4 times and had 1 lost fumble. Jaylen Warren had 5 carries, accumulating 27 yards. Calvin Austin made 1 catch for 46 yards, adding some spark to the offense.
The Steelers need to improve their offensive line protection to give Wilson more time in the pocket and reduce the number of sacks. Additionally, they need to find more ways to convert short gains into long ones to keep the drives going.
The Browns offense also had a decent first half, gaining 119 yards. Jameis Winston was accurate, completing 9 out of 11 passes for 78 yards. Nick Chubb had 9 carries, rushing for 27 yards and scoring 1 touchdown. Jerry Jeudy made 3 catches for 39 yards, providing some key receptions.
Myles Garrett's 3 sacks on the Steelers' offense showed his dominance on the defensive side. The Browns need to continue to pressure the Steelers' quarterback and create turnovers to gain an advantage in the game.
