Ben Roethlisberger improved his career record as a starting quarterback against the Browns to 23-2-1 (.904) on Sunday. He also improved his career record as a starting quarterback against Cleveland at Heinz Field to 12-0. #Steelers pic.twitter.com/oo4a5j1AZD

Roethlisberger said he credits Josh Dobbs for a touchdown in the first half, presumably the Washington double move. They had a discussion on the sideline after one of the early series.
— Ray Fittipaldo (@rayfitt1) October 18, 2020

Ben Roethlisberger completed just three passes over 10 yards downfield. The Steelers' rushing attack was actually more efficient on a per-play basis, per @PFF. #Steelers
— Steelers Depot 🏆👑 (@Steelersdepot) October 19, 2020

Only 1 interception after 5 games for Ben! https://t.co/9Ut9rE8gBF
— SteelersUniverse (@Steelers_Univer) October 19, 2020

NFL executives doubt that the New York Jets currently would be able to get back a 1st-round pick for Sam Darnold, though there is plenty of season left.https://t.co/PSzTeJaCyd

Chase Claypool had 3.36 yards per route run on Sunday, bringing his season total to 3.49, which is over half a yard more than any other qualifying WR. Claypool also picked up a TD on the ground and is now one of two WRs with two rushing touchdowns on the season. @PFF #Steelers
— Steelers Depot 🏆👑 (@Steelersdepot) October 19, 2020

Rookie WR Chase Claypool leads the team in receiving yardage with 335 yards and 4 TDs on 17 receptions. #Steelers

— Steelers Depot 🏆👑 (@Steelersdepot) October 19, 2020

After 6 games, @ChaseClaypool has already tied the rookie record for TDs scored.
Remember when people said he was a reach?
Maybe ppl should just trust that the #Steelers know what they're doing when when they draft WRs. You guys think? pic.twitter.com/PIGF3vmq77

Washington hasn't been that uncontested since 1792. https://t.co/dWKrid8oXh
— Seth Rorabaugh (@SethRorabaugh) October 18, 2020

JuJu Smith-Schuster has 34 yards on his last 9 targets. 6 yards on 4 targets today.

But if #Steelers are winning and scoring 30+ point, I really don’t care.

Kevin Dotson matched the Browns first round draft pick (Jedrick Wills Jr.) today in production. Dotson was drafted in round 4 at number 135. #Steelers
— Blitzburgh (@RenegadeBlitz) October 19, 2020

Kevin Dotson, per @PFF, lost just one of his 25 pass-blocking reps. That loss resulted in a sack. Dotson has now seen 92 pass-blocking snaps in his NFL career and has lost just two reps. #Steelers
— Steelers Depot 🏆👑 (@Steelersdepot) October 19, 2020

Per PFF, Kevin Dotson will likely end up with more than double the number of negatively graded run blocks as positively graded ones on Sunday versus Browns. #Steelers

— Mark Kaboly (@MarkKaboly) October 19, 2020

Spillane was awesome yesterday. No idea what to think about him wearing the green dot. Extremely physical dude. Think Steelers are gonna have to be prepared for teams to start going pass-heavy on early downs against them to expose their LBs in coverage https://t.co/xuf2d0bFZm

With Manti Teo and Vontaze Burfict available, why would you consider Feeney? https://t.co/69hGWJPx7N
— Ben Anderson (@BenAnderson58) October 19, 2020

JuJu is easier replace than Bush. Steelers don’t need a receiver as much as they now need a legit starting insider backer. And JuJu’s value only decreases the more games the Steelers offense puts up points without JuJu producing. https://t.co/fIW1Iu595d

CB/S

The Browns were 1 of 12 on third downs in the game and Mayfield on third downs was picked off twice, one which was a 33-yard pick-six by Fitzpatrick and was sacked once. #Steelers
— Blitzburgh (@RenegadeBlitz) October 18, 2020

Mayfield was 10 of 18 (55.6%) for 119 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions and a quarterback rating of 54.9. #Steelers
— Blitzburgh (@RenegadeBlitz) October 19, 2020

#Browns QB Baker Mayfield was pressured on 47% of his dropbacks on Sunday and the results were significant:
