A classic AFC North showdown unfolded at Huntington Bank Field as the Browns edged past the Steelers 24-19 in a snow-swept Thursday Night Football spectacle.
In true divisional rivalry fashion, Cleveland mounted a stirring fourth-quarter comeback, sealed by Nick Chubb’s decisive touchdown run in the dying moments.
The victory, pushing the Browns to 3-8, might not salvage their season, but it gave them bragging rights over another division rival—and millions were watching.
The Washington Post’s NFL correspondent Mark Maske revealed just how many eyes were glued to this primetime clash.

These numbers continue a remarkable trend for Thursday Night Football on Prime Video.
Since its 2022 launch, the platform has now surpassed the 13-million viewer mark 13 times.
