Quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Cleveland Browns will head to Pittsburgh for a Monday Night primetime game against the rival Steelers, looking for a 2-0 start. While Cleveland blew out the Bengals in Week 1, the Steelers got dominated by the San Fransico 49ers by a final score of 30-7.
Kenny Pickett was sacked five times while throwing two interceptions as the offense failed to get anything going consistently. In total, the Steelers’ offensive line was worse than the Bengals, allowing a total of 29 quarterback pressures (according to PFF).
The Browns have a good chance to do the same thing as their defensive line showed they could live up to the hype at least for one game. The Steelers will be without one of their best weapons in Diontae Johnson, which gives another advantage to the Browns and their talented cornerback room.
With a few days remaining before the primetime matchup let’s look at four bold predictions I see happening this week.
