The Pittsburgh Steelers have a huge Week 8 opportunity in front of them, as a win over the Cleveland Browns this Sunday would give them the No. 1 spot in the AFC North division. We at Steelers Wire have provided a few bold predictions for the game down below, including a big game for a second-round rookie and a dynamic running back reaching the 200-yard mark.
Bold predictions for Week 8
Germie Bernard eclipses 100-yard mark
After a slow Week 7, Bernard bounces back against the Browns with the first 100-yard receiving game of his career. DK Metcalf will demand most of the defensive attention, which will leave Bernard with plenty of one-on-one opportunities to show what he's made of.
Steelers sack DeShaun Watson over five times
Pittsburgh's defense will find a way to do what Browns DE Jared Verse hasn't: get sacks. When the dust settles, the Steelers' pass
rush should have recorded more than five sacks on Watson. Whether it's T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith flying off the edge or Keeanu Benton and Cameron Heyward wreaking havoc from the interior, expect a Steelers sack fest this Sunday.
Jaylen Warren hits 200 yards from scrimmage
Make no mistake: Warren is the best player on Pittsburgh's offense. He's shown just how dangerous he can be as both a runner and a receiver. In Week 8, Warren finds a way to keep this hot streak going and finishes the game with over 200 yards from scrimmage.
