Ravens players and fans wild social media reactions to Browns upset win vs. Steelers

In another lost season for the Browns, the squad can at least take some holiday delight in playing Grinch to arch rival Pittsburgh. Much to the joy of another division rival, the Baltimore Ravens.

The Steelers were trying to clinch the AFC North in Cleveland's house on Sunday, which would've also swept the 2025 two-game series. Instead, the Browns defense came to play, holding Aaron Rodgers to zero touchdowns and only 168-yards in a 13-6 upset.

Baltimore was waiting anxiously following their 41-24 thrashing of the Packers on Saturday to see the result of this match-up. A Pittsburgh loss would mean that it would be a Ravens vs. Steelers, in a winner takes the division battle in Week 18.

As 4.5-point underdogs, the Browns pulled it out. The league took notice as current and former Baltimore players, as well as fans, flooded X in celebration posts.

The official Ravens X account gave a Shedeur Sanders shout out.

Current Baltimore defensive end Brent Urban poured out some love to Cleveland Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward. "The Warden" was in lock down mode on any of Aaron Rodgers' targets that were around him.

Nah I’m copping a Ward jersey lol

One of the Ravens all-time greats, Terrell Suggs, was thankful to the opponent he used to terrorize.
