#Browns safety Grant Delpit disavows being responsible for ‘Renegade’ being played to start every practice this week… as Via @RuiterWrongFAN on X

What happened: Cleveland Browns safety Grant Delpit dismissed questions Friday regarding the team's 22-game regular-season road losing streak in Pittsburgh, jokingly citing the playing surface. Delpit also disavowed any involvement in the team's decision to blast the song 'Renegade' to open practice sessions throughout the week.

Why it matters: Cleveland heads into the divisional matchup seeking to snap the NFL's longest active road losing streak against a single opponent. The Browns have won two consecutive games to maintain positioning in the AFC North race, though defensive consistency remains a focal point after allowing multiple early-game scores.

By the numbers: Cleveland (5-2) has dropped 22 consecutive regular-season road matchups in Pittsburgh. The Browns defense has allowed five opening-drive touchdowns through seven games this season.

What to watch: Delpit, who is listed as questionable on the Friday injury report, will look to suit up when Cleveland visits Pittsburgh.
