Cleveland’s loss was a bit more disappointing than that of Pittsburgh, blowing a game in which they had a 99.9% chance of winning. The Browns held a 13-point lead over the Jets with under two minutes remaining in the contest, but they allowed Joe Flacco and Co. to come back and win it by a single point, 31-30.
As for the Steelers, their defense fared well despite losing T.J. Watt to a torn pectoral in Week 1 and held the Patriots to 17 points. However, the Mitch Trubsiky-led offense couldn’t get much going against Bill Belichick’s defense, so they ended up losing 17-14 in a tightly contested battle.
Both Pittsburgh and Cleveland have solid-to-strong running games headlined by Steelers’ back Najee Harris and the Browns’ tandem of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Whichever team runs the ball better should have the advantage in this matchup.
The Steelers and Browns are meeting for the sixth time since Kevin Stefnakski became the coach of the Browns. Mike Tomlin owns a slight edge in the coaching matchup at 3-2 overall, but Stefanski earned a playoff win over Pittsburgh during the 2021 postseason.

NFL schedule Week 3
The Steelers vs. Browns contest will be the first NFL Week 3 action of the 2022 season. It is expected to be a grind-it-out battle between two division rivals with strong defenses and questions at the quarterback position.
There will be two more prime-time games in Week 3 after Thursday night. The “Sunday Night Football” matchup between the 49ers and Broncos has the potential to be an interesting game. San Francisco lost Trey Lance to a broken ankle, so Jimmy Garoppolo will re-enter the starting lineup and hope to steady the ship.
As for Denver, they are off to an uninspired 1-1 start. First-time head coach Nathaniel Hackett has come under fire for his in-game management ability, and he will need to deliver a solid performance to quell concerns in Week 3.
The “Monday Night Football” game in Week 3 is another contest that features a team starting its backup quarterback. Cooper Rush and the Cowboys are fresh off a win and will be playing the surprising 2-0 Giants who have looked good during Brian Daboll’s first season as head coach.
There will be plenty of other solid games to watch in Week 3, but the best of the bunch is the Packers vs. Buccaneers contest in the 4:25 p.m. ET window on Fox. It will be a battle between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, but Brady will likely be without his top two receiving weapons — Mike Evans (suspension) and Chris Godwin (hamstring).
Below is the full schedule for Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season.
