The Pittsburgh Steelers piled on Cleveland Browns edge rusher Jared Verse following the 27-6 rout Sunday. And not just limited to offensive lineman Mason McCormick body slamming him. Safety Jaquan Brisker eviscerated Verse right after the game.

Brisker dropped honesty with reporters after completing the battle for first place in the AFC North.

“He should have kept his mouth shut,” Brisker began. “All that talk, and then to come out with 0 tackles? You didn't stand on business. He gotta look at himself in the mirror and get better.”

Sunday marked the biggest game of Verse's Browns career following the blockbuster June trade involving Myles Garrett. Verse's Browns earned a chance to show the league that Cleveland indeed is a contender amid its fast 5-2 start.

But Pittsburgh kept Verse quiet stats wise. And Verse's viral moment came via McCormick's throwdown. Meanwhile, head coach Mike McCarthy got Pittsburgh to run over this defense.

Running back Jaylen Warren tallied 143 yards on 17 carries and scored a dagger piercing one-yard touchdown. Pittsburgh compiled 200 total rushing yards against Verse and company, completely owning the line of scrimmage.

The efficient and hard-nosed approach allowed quarterback Aaron Rodgers to avoid doing too much. Rodgers finished with 13-of-25 passing for 172 yards. He tossed one pick while taking one sack, but still leaned into the run game to lead the rout.

Wide receiver Germie Bernard led the way with five receptions but settled for 30 yards. Darnell Washington caught three passes for a team-high 94 yards.

Brisker finished with seven tackles to place third on the Steelers. But again, their performance became louder than Verse's words.
