The Brewers kick off the offseason by picking up William Contreras' $15.5 million 2027 option and extending a $23.15 million qualifying offer to first baseman Jake Bauers, who must decide by Nov. 17. Meanwhile, options for Gary Sánchez and Antonio Senzatela were declined, and Dustin May opted out of his mutual option. Akil Baddoo, Jared Koenig and Bryse Wilson hit waivers, with Baddoo claimed by Pittsburgh.

The left‑shot blueliner leads Wilkes‑Barre in scoring with eight points (2G‑6A) in nine games and could slot into the NHL lineup alongside Ilya Solovyov. Meanwhile, forward Justin Brazeur earns his season debut after a two‑game conditioning stint, joining a roster that now has 13 healthy forwards despite injuries to Elmer Soderblom (week‑to‑week) and Evgeni Malkin (day‑to‑day).

Wide receiver Josh Downs has formally requested a trade from the Indianapolis Colts, prompting coach Shane Steichen to remind him to stay professional and play on Sunday. Sources say the Colts are asking for a third‑round pick, though analyst Jordan Schultz expects a fourth‑round deal. Downs, entering the final year of his rookie contract, could attract interest from the Steelers, Chiefs, Commanders and other teams, but his pending free agency makes a high price a gamble. The trade deadline is Nov. 10, and the 2‑6 Colts are eager to move assets.

The Cleveland Browns’ two‑game winning streak ends with a 27‑6 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a loss running back Quinshon Judkins blames on “self‑inflicted wounds” such as penalties and false starts. The Browns incur nine penalties for 85 yards, two fumbles (by Deshaun Watson and Harold Fannin Jr.), and struggle on third‑down (4‑13) and fourth‑down (0‑2) situations. Judkins manages only 25 yards on 11 carries. Cleveland sits 5‑3, ranking last in penalties per game (0.07) and 29th in points (17.4 per game). The team looks to rebound against the New Orleans Saints next Sunday.
In Week 8 against the Steelers, the Browns’ defense unraveled, missing 14‑16 tackles and surrendering four runs of 15+ yards—including a 51‑yard gain on 3rd‑and‑13. Interior linemen were spread too wide, allowing the run game to exploit gaps, while second‑ and third‑level players failed to stop ball carriers in the open field. Defensive line snap counts show Mason Graham (44 snaps, 3 tackles) and Jared Verse (41 snaps, 1 assist) providing limited impact, and linebacker Carson Schwesinger records 10 tackles but a dismal 30.5 PFF grade. Despite a strong showing from cornerback Denzel Ward (INT, 90.1 coverage grade), overall tackling grades are poor, prompting coach Todd Monken to call for scheme adjustments.
The Vegas Golden Knights (9-5-2, 2nd in the Pacific) travel to PPG Paints Arena for a 7 p.m. ET showdown with the struggling Pittsburgh Penguins (5-7-2, 6th in the Metropolitan). The Knights arrive after a shootout loss to Boston and a five‑in‑six slump, while the Pens hope to bounce back after a 6‑2 defeat in Vegas earlier this month. Key storylines include Sidney Crosby’s chase of Marcel Dionne on the all‑time points list, Mitch Marner’s 10‑game point streak, and potential lineup changes: Victor Olofsson may return for Vegas, and Adin Hill could start for Pittsburgh after Carter Hart’s lower‑body injury. Both teams eye a pivotal win as they head into busy schedules.

The Browns fell 27-6 to the Steelers in Week 8, as Deshaun Watson endured eight sacks and a 0‑3 red‑zone record. Watson threw for 324 yards on 27 of 39 attempts but lost a fumble and graded a low 47.5 by PFF. Cleveland’s ground game sputtered, with Dylan Sampson posting a 7‑yard carry and 62 receiving yards, while Quinshon Judkins managed just 25 rushing yards. Tight end Harold Fannin shone with 10 catches for 154 yards, the highest‑graded player at 76.4, but the offensive line couldn’t protect against Pittsburgh’s dominant front. The Browns now face a more favorable Saints defense next week.
The Steelers dominate the Browns 27-6 at Acrisure Stadium, a stark reversal after Jared Verse’s viral showdown with guard Mason McCormick. Verse, who previously called Pittsburgh’s linemen “dirty,” was body‑slammed by McCormick on an extra‑point attempt and later issued a humble apology, acknowledging his underestimation of the Steelers’ style. With the regular‑season rivalry settled, Cleveland now turns its attention to a Week 9 clash against the New Orleans Saints at the Caesars Superdome.
Steelers beat reporter Gerry Dulac says the team’s wide‑receiver woes are nearing an end.

On Sunday the AFC North saw drama and shifting fortunes. The Cincinnati Bengals escaped a 43-36 overtime thriller against the Tennessee Titans, powered by Joe Burrow’s five TD passes (including a nine‑yard scramble) but haunted by three interceptions and a defense that again surrendered 36 points. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers surged to a 27-6 win over the Cleveland Browns, clinching sole first place in the division thanks to 160 rushing yards, eight sacks and a dominant secondary; T.J. Watt added two sacks and Patrick Queen recorded 10 tackles. In Buffalo, the Bills crushed the Baltimore Ravens 36-10 as Lamar Jackson left with a thumb injury, forcing the Ravens to rely on third‑string QB Joe Fagnano. The results leave the Bengals fighting for playoff positioning, the Steelers atop the North, and the Ravens slipping to 4‑4.
