After Warren recorded 10 carries for 61 yards in the first half, the Browns&#8217; defense limited him to seven carries for 32 yards over the final two quarters in Week 4. Aggressively pursuing Warren, in the run game as well as the pass game, will be critical to containing his explosiveness in Week 8, Schwesinger emphasized.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You just always have to be aware of him,&#8221; Schwesinger said. &#8220;He&#8217;s very good at finding space after protecting in the pass game. So just making sure that you&#8217;re still close to him and you don&#8217;t give him a lot of space in the pass game. And everyone swarming whenever he touches the ball.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers&#8217; offense has relied heavily on Warren this season, as he has 126 touches \u2014 82 more than any other player for Pittsburgh. In Week 7, Warren recorded a season-high 18 carries that turned into his third 100-yard rushing game in 2026. When Warren has rushed for over 100 yards this season, the Steelers are 3-0. But in the four games he hasn&#8217;t been able to hit that mark, including Week 4, Pittsburgh is just 2-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Warren&#8217;s two carries in that second-half sequence, the Browns&#8217; defense quickly tracked the ball, with multiple defenders&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1040998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2054],"tags":[26816,86,85,54,2337,198,7,6,26815],"class_list":["post-1040997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cleveland-browns","tag-adpartnerteam_coverage_article","tag-browns","tag-cleveland","tag-cleveland-browns","tag-clevelandbrowns","tag-featured","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-team-coverage"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1040997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1040997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1040997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1040998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1040997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1040997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1040997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
