Pittsburgh attempted to go for the two-point conversion. Rodgers threw the ball to running back Jaylen Warren who was tackled immediately and the try was unsuccessful. Cleveland still leads by a touchdown with a score of 21-16 with over 10 minutes left in the game. With two touchdown passes in this game, Rodgers now
has five touchdowns in the last two games after only having one touchdown in the first two.
However, the story of the game is how many times Rodgers has gotten sacked. Through the first 50 minutes of the game, he has been sacked five times. There are only seven games in his career where he has gotten sacked more times and this is the most times he has been sacked since 2024 with the New York Jets.
On their next drive, the Browns were able to get a field goal to make it an eight-point lead at 24-16 with 6:37 left in the game.
