The Steelers have won 14 straight home games against the Browns, tied for the fifth-longest streak by any team against any opponent in NFL history. Overall, Pittsburgh is 28-4-1 against Cleveland since divisional realignment in 2002, second best by any team against a divisional opponent (Patriots, 28-4 vs. Bills).

Six of the Browns' seven games have been decided by four points or fewer, something only six other teams have done through seven games in NFL history. Of those seven teams, Cleveland is the only one to have a losing record in those games (2-3-1).

The Steelers were on a bye last week and moved from third in the division to first, as the other three AFC North teams all lost. Pittsburgh is 1-2 in home games this season; the last time the Steelers lost three of their first four home games was 2003, which was their last sub-.500 season overall (6-10).

Both teams have been penalized 58 times, tied with Kansas City for most in the NFL. Each team has had three games this season with at least 10 penalties (also tied for most in the NFL) after the two teams had just six combined games with 10+ penalties last season (four by Cleveland, two by Pittsburgh).

Baker Mayfield has started four NFL games, and three of them have gone to overtime. His three overtime starts are already tied for the most by a rookie quarterback in NFL history (Joey Harrington in 2002).

Ben Roethlisberger is 21-2-1 (.896) against the Browns in his career, the fifth-best mark by any starting quarterback against any team (minimum 15 starts). He is 16-0 in starts against the Browns when he completes at least 60 percent of his passes.
