Jaylen Warren ran for 143 yards as the Steelers went into their bye week at 6-⁠2

The Steelers beat the Browns 27-⁠6

If you caught Sunday's 27-6 win over Cleveland, you saw Jaylen Warren run for 143 yards, tying a career high. His 51-yard run on third-and-13 set up a Chris Boswell field goal. The win put the Steelers atop the AFC North going into the bye.

  • Yards per carry: 5.9, tops in the NFL
  • Yards from scrimmage: third in the NFL
  • Rico Dowdle: 191 total yards over the last three games

Warren isn't doing it alone. Dowdle looks healthy after a toe injury, and Cleveland.com says opposing teams have found the blueprint against the Browns' run defense after Tennessee gashed it the week before. T.J. Watt called Warren "a bowling ball with teeth."

“He's put himself in all the conversations. He's playing incredible.”
