The Cleveland Browns have a big opportunity to get another AFC North win this season and the team’s second win over the Pittsburgh Steelers
. This matchup will be more challenging in some ways, as they will have to play in a hostile environment on the road in Pittsburgh. The Browns won by just three points the first time these two teams played this season, so it will most certainly be another hard-fought matchup.One of our readers asked this same question in The Feed this week, as we are all excited
about this Week 8 matchup:
Both teams are sitting at 5-2 and are looking to improve their position in the division. Cleveland will need to prioritize the protection of Deshaun Watson and not let the Steelers’ pass rushers take over the game. Pittsburgh only had two sacks in the first matchup this season, so the Browns offensive line should replicate that.
On the other side of the ball, the Browns pass rush will have a big task at hand: limiting Jaylen Warren’s production. Warren had 101 yards rushing in the team’s prior matchup against the New Orleans Saints, so he has the potential for a big game on the ground and in the passing game. It will be a difficult matchup, but Cleveland has an opportunity to do big things in this game.
