Mike Tomlin confirmed that Darnell Washington suffered a broken arm after the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Cleveland Browns. At the moment, it is unknown whether he will be available for the blockbuster matchup against the Ravens in Week 18.

Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers suffered a surprising 20–13 loss in Cleveland when they had the opportunity to secure the AFC North title. Now, they need to beat Baltimore or they will be eliminated.

The Steelers were coming off three consecutive wins over the Ravens, Dolphins, and Detroit Lions. However, facing an opponent fighting for the No. 1 overall draft pick, they fell short once again. A familiar pattern for Tomlin’s teams in recent years in clutch games.
