Highlights from #Browns S Grant Delpit: Why is it so hard to win in Pittsburgh? “I don’t know, the grass sucks” On 5 o Via @RuiterWrongFAN on X

What happened: Cleveland Browns safety Grant Delpit offered candid responses Friday regarding the team's road challenges and recent defensive lapses. Asked why winning in Pittsburgh has proven difficult, Delpit quipped that "the grass sucks." When addressed about allowing five opening-drive touchdowns, Delpit joked that the unit surrendered those scores "on purpose.

Why it matters: Cleveland carries a 5-2 record into the division matchup while holding the third seed in the AFC. Tightening up early possessions remains critical as the Browns look to sustain momentum during a two-game winning streak. Overcoming road obstacles against division rivals will be central to Cleveland's postseason positioning.

By the numbers: Cleveland enters the week at 5-2 following a 27-24 road victory over Tennessee. Delpit, who recorded 89 tackles, three sacks, and one interception in 17 games during the 2025 season, anchors a secondary working through early-game coverage challenges.

What to watch: Cleveland travels to face Pittsburgh on Sunday, with Delpit listed as questionable on the injury report. The game will test whether the defense can halt its streak of opening-drive scores allowed.
