Even after some season-altering news for the Cleveland Browns, today's matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers would prove pivotal. 

A hard-fought divisional matchup, these two proved what AFC North football is all about. 

Here are the plays that changed the game:

I know Dan Moore Jr. catches a lot of grief from Steelers fans but the truth is that that are very few humans that can hold up against Garrett 1v1. 

He proved his dominance yet again.

Following that big sack, Cleveland got the ball and marched down the field for what would be an overturned TD on the Jerome Ford TD. Cleveland obviously wants to run the ball with a rookie QB, and they started out hot on the ground.

The Steelers certainly needed a wakeup call out of the half, as not only did they not score, they only allocated 54 yards of offense. 

Well this 74-yarder from Warren changed all of that, as he broke the game wide open.

The end result may not have been what Pittsburgh wanted, but turnovers still matter in the momentum of the game, with Jaylen Warren and the offense proving that shortly after:

More hard running from Warren may have not resulted in a TD, but it allowed Chris Boswell to tie the game at 10 in the fourth quarter. In a defensive battle, every point would prove pivotal, especially when you consider the end result:

Cleveland would reign victorious in this one, with the Steelers putting up one of their worst passing games of the season. Kenny Pickett would finish with a mere 106 yards on 28 passing attempts. 

With another divisional matchup against the Bengals next, Pittsburgh will need much much more from Pickett and others on the offense.
