Of all the bizarre stats that have enveloped the franchise since 1999, the fact that the Browns have not won a regular-season game in Pittsburgh since 2003 has to rank high on the list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">It won\u2019t be easy &#8211; it rarely has been for the Browns in Pittsburgh going all the way back to 1970 &#8211; but with the way the season has gone so far, this could be the team to finally come back home with a win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">To do that, the Browns are going to have to keep playing defense at a high level, and have the offense finally put together a full game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">They certainly trended in the right direction against Tennessee with 26 first downs and 491 yards of offense, but the offense is still ranked just 26th in EPA per play after seven weeks. That is an improvement over last season, when the Browns finished No. 32, but also an indication that the offense is still leaving some meat on the bone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Before the hype train fully leaves the station, let\u2019s kick off the day with the latest edition of the Daily Dawg Chow.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sbnation.com\/users\/cG451cfhaQ\/Tom_RedRight88\" class=\"_1tkg4tn7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img alt=\"Tom_RedRight88\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_1tkg4tn5 _8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/paul_brown..jpg\"\/><\/a><img alt=\"Dawgs By Nature\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"_1tkg4tn4 _8s7ip80\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' %3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mN8+R8AAtcB6oaHtZcAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/logo-dawgsbynature.png\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawgsbynature.com\/post\/El4bMhsR92UP\" class=\"kbjb0s3\" aria-label=\"View full post: The last time the Browns \u2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"_1mg4q2a1 _1mg4q2a0\">The last time the Browns \u2026<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The last time the Browns were in first place on Halloween was in 1995.
