The Cleveland Browns' playoff hopes have officially ended after a 27-14 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers. A significant error by Kadarius Toney, a former first-round draft pick, contributed to the loss, leading to his release just two days later.

Toney, who was signed by the Browns in September, had a brief and unremarkable stint with the team, failing to make an impact in three games. Additionally, the Browns placed starting cornerback Greg Newsome II on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury sustained during the game.
