A well-rested Steelers’ team hosts a well-traveled Cleveland Browns’ team Sunday in a crucial AFC North clash. The Browns (1-4) are coming off a long flight back from London, where they lost, 21-17, to the Minnesota Vikings this past weekend, while the Steelers (3-1) are well-rested after their bye week.
The Browns have now fully-embraced a youth movement on offense riding rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel (190yds passing) and rookie running back Quinshon Judkins (110yds rushing), both of whom performed reasonably well in London despite the loss. The task is no less great for that duo and the rest of the Cleveland offense this week as they line up against a well-rested and hungry Pittsburgh defense boosted by the likely return of outside linebacker Alex Highsmith and cornerback Joey Porter Jr.
The Steelers’ last game was also against the Vikings. Pittsburgh knocked off Minnesota two weeks ago, 24-21. In that game, Aaron Rodgers found DK Metcalf 5 times for 126yds including one for 80 yards and a touchdown. That type of explosive offensive play is arguably something that has not been a part of the Steelers’ playbook since the days of Big Ben.
Points may be scarce in this AFC North matchup. Lets dive into it a bit deeper and see where the numbers lead us.
