The Cleveland Browns were dealt a big blow, losing quarterback Deshaun Watson for the remainder of the season after a big victory on the road against the Baltimore Ravens. But they weren’t the only ones as a few days later the Bengals lost Joe Burrow for the remainder of the season with a wrist injury. They now have a chance to make a statement against the 6-3 Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
The AFC is still wide open and the Browns remain in a good spot to make the playoffs if Dorian Thompson-Robinson can be a serviceable starter. That makes this week’s matchup with the Steelers one of the biggest games of the year. Cleveland could use another division win for a playoff push. The defense is absolutely good enough to win games as long as the offense doesn’t turn it over and aid the opponent like the first matchup in Pittsburgh.
For the Browns, they will bring back their white face masks to go with orange pants and brown jerseys. The Steelers haven’t officially announced a uniform but they appear to be wearing white jerseys based on a post on Twitter.
