The Baltimore Ravens’ bye week set the stage for a high-stakes showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium, with Pittsburgh not just seeking a divisional win, but also craving revenge for their earlier season loss.
The Steelers delivered emphatically, dominating the Browns 27-14 and completely shutting down Cleveland’s offensive threat.
However, the on-field triumph was overshadowed by an off-field incident that highlighted the sometimes toxic nature of intense rivalries.
Carly Teller, wife of Browns Pro Bowl guard Wyatt Teller, didn’t hold back in expressing her distress about the treatment she and other Browns family members experienced during the game.
“The fans in Pittsburgh today were so blatantly disrespectful to me and the Browns girls. I’ve never felt so attacked by people who I literally did nothing to,” Teller shared on X, describing the incident as “very sad/embarrassing behavior.”

The Steelers-Browns rivalry has always been known for its intensity, with previous trash talk between players like George Pickens and Greg Newsome adding fuel to the competitive fire.
Yet, this incident underscored a critical line that should never be crossed – targeting players’ families.
Teller’s candid post resonated with many, drawing significant support from fans across team loyalties.
Social media responses ranged from expressions of sympathy to direct apologies.
One fan explicitly acknowledged the inappropriateness of her treatment, noting that no one should face disrespect simply for supporting their spouse.
The game itself represented more than just a typical divisional matchup.
After the Browns handed Pittsburgh their sole loss in a challenging four-game AFC North stretch, the Steelers were determined to make a statement. Their comprehensive victory did just that.
