Cleveland Browns (5-6) at Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5)
It’s a shame this game is on at the same time the Ravens are playing because this might be the most interesting matchup of the week. We’re just two weeks removed from a near all-out brawl between these teams and if you think things have settled down, you’re a fool.
Both the Browns and Steelers are fighting for their playoff hopes here. A loss for either team would be devastating. There’s practically no hope of either team dethroning Baltimore for the AFC North crown at this point but a wild card berth is still very much up in the air. But in order to get there, a 9-7 finish is as low as I’d expect could sneak in. Whoever wins will put themselves into second place within the AFC North.
Cleveland has been heating up over their three-game winning streak and blew out Pittsburgh two weeks ago. However, the Steelers’ defense is playing at a high level and they’ll have a new quarterback under center in Devlin Hodges as they hope to turn things around.
