FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland โ€” Browns fans went absolutely bonkers on Thursday night!

What a game in Cleveland! The Browns hosted their bitter rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, on Thursday Night Football โ€” and the Browns came out on top, 27โ€“24. That win pushes Cleveland to a really solid 3-1 record to start the season!

Aaron Rodgers was slinging it for Pittsburgh, finishing with 22 completions on 40 attempts for 299 yards, 3 touchdowns, AND 2 interceptions. That's classic Rodgers โ€” brilliant AND risky at the same time! Running back Jaylen Warren kept the Steelers in it on the ground with 17 carries for 93 yards, but it wasn't enough to get Pittsburgh over the line. The Steelers fall to 2-2 on the year.

This is a HUGE rivalry game โ€” the Browns and Steelers have been going at it for decades! Cleveland now leads the AFC North alongside the Ravens (2-1) and Bengals (2-1). The Bills and Chiefs are both 3-0 in their divisions, so there's a LOT of football still to be played. But for Browns fans tonight? Pure joy.

โšพ MLB Playoffs โ€” NLWC Game 3

The MLB Postseason is in full swing and Thursday's game was a big one! The Atlanta Braves absolutely dominated the Philadelphia Phillies, 6โ€“2, in Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series. The Braves advance and the Phillies pack their bags โ€” Atlanta's star center fielder Michael Harris II was the man of the moment, going 1-for-3 with a home run, 3 RBI, a run scored, and a strikeout. That HR swing basically put the game on ice. The Brewers (103-59!) and Dodgers (100-62) remain the teams to beat in the National League.

The Sounders were the better team on the night, grabbing all three points. No scorer details were available, but a win is a win for Seattle as MLS heads toward the end of the regular season stretch run!
