Steelers look to keep Mike Tomlin’s rookie QB dominance rolling

The Pittsburgh Steelers return from their bye week to host the Cleveland Browns in their first matchup of the 2025 season. The Browns are coming off a 21-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London, a game that marked rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel’s first career start.

Throughout Mike Tomlin’s tenure as head coach, he has built an impressive record against rookie quarterbacks. The question now is, will that trend continue this week?

With how poorly the Browns have played on offense this season, it feels like a safe bet that Pittsburgh will have a great chance to add to Tomlin's resume against rookies.
