CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns blew a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter but rallied to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers, 24-19, on a snowy Thursday night in Cleveland.

Running back Nick Chubbin his first game against the Steelers since suffering a severe knee injury against the AFC North rival 14 months ago, scored a 2-yard, go-ahead touchdown with 57 seconds left, and Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson‘s Hail Mary was knocked down as time expired.

Driven by Myles Garretts three-sack performance in the first half and a tough offensive performance amid the elements, Cleveland built an 18-6 lead early in the fourth quarter after quarterback Winston’s 2-yard touchdown run and pass to the tight end David Njoku on a 2-point conversion attempt. But a couple of turnovers seemed to doom the Browns. First, Winston lost a fumble on a strip-sack by linebacker Nick Herbig which led to a 19-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to wide receiver Calvin Austin IIIgiving the Steelers a 19-18 lead. He later threw an interception at cornerback Donte Jackson.

But after a defensive stop and a 16-yard punt, Winston led the Browns on a nine-play, 45-yard drive that included a fourth-down conversion to wide receiver Jerry Jewdywith Chubb’s second score of the game.

The win is Cleveland’s seventh straight Thursday night.

Here are the key takeaways from Thursday night for both teams:

Describe the game in two words: Nothing stop. Four days after giving up 21 points in the fourth quarter of a blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints, their seventh loss in their last eight games, the Browns delivered a gritty victory in front of their home crowd against the AFC North-leading Steelers.

QB breakdown: The Jameis Winston the experience was in full effect amid the elements on Thursday night. He threw what appeared to be a game-breaking interception late in the fourth quarter but ultimately went on to give the Browns a chance to win with extended plays and clutch throws. He finished 18 of 27 for 219 yards passing with an interception and a fumble. It marked Winston’s third quality start in four games since taking over in Week 8.

Worrying trend: The Browns entered Week 12 allowing 16 completions on passes thrown 20 yards downfield this season, tied for seventh in the NFL, and gave up another deep completion on Wilson’s only such attempt Thursday. — Daniel Oyefusi

Three plays after the Steelers safety DeShon Elliott created snow angels in the west end zone at Huntington Bank Field, Wilson found Austin streaking across the same goal line through heavy snow showers and hit the wide receiver for a touchdown to erase a 12-point deficit and take a one-point lead. But the celebration was short-lived.

Doomed by a failed two-point conversion, the repeat of earlier offensive stagnation and a missed punt, the Steelers gave up a game-winning drive that ended with a Chubb touchdown in a 24-19 loss.

Although the Steelers forced three Browns turnovers, the offense turned takeaways into just seven points, and the defense couldn’t hold out late on a short field after punts. With less than a minute left after Chubb’s touchdown, the Steelers’ offense again failed to move the ball effectively, stopping 50 yards from the same end zone where Elliott celebrated and Austin scored.

The loss snapped a Steelers five-game winning streak and handed Wilson his first loss as a Steelers starter. Although Wilson completed 21 of 28 attempts for 270 yards and a touchdown, he struggled against the Browns’ pass rush as Garrett recorded three sacks.

Describe the game in two words: Trap game. Come on, a hapless 2-8 Browns team hosting an 8-2 Steelers team days away from a monster win against the Ravens? We should have known better. The Browns were reinforced. And hampered most by recurring offensive mistakes, the Steelers started flat before rallying late.

Worrying trend: Russell Wilson’s boom-or-bust game under pressure. Through three quarters, Wilson had just three incompletions and 204 passing yards. But he struggled under pressure once again, picking up four sacks in that span, including a strip sack. Still, Wilson also completed 5 of 6 for 86 yards during that pressure, including several deep shots. But for as energizing as the deep balls were, the sacks were much more expensive. Wilson had a sack for an eight-yard loss at the end of the Steelers’ first drive. Instead of a 50-yarder, kicker Chris Boswell attempted a 58-yarder and just missed his second of the season when it went wide of the mark.

Pivotal Game: Herbig’s fourth quarter strip sack. For the second game in a row, Herbig forced a fumble and Elliott recovered it and took home Winston in the fourth quarter. The ball bounced loose and Elliott recovered it at the Browns’ 27-yard line. The critical turnover came on the heels of the Steelers’ first touchdown in seven quarters, and it set up another Steelers score a couple of plays later when Wilson found Austin for the go-ahead, 23-yard touchdown. — Brooke Pryor
