What you should know
The Pittsburgh Steelers won both games against the Cleveland Browns last season (15-10 and 26-14) and are targeting the same result on Thursday. Pittsburgh and Cleveland will face off in an AFC North bout at 8:15 p.m. ET at FirstEnergy Stadium. The odds don’t look promising for the Steelers, but the bigger the opponent, the harder they fall.
Pittsburgh were close but no cigar last Sunday as they lost 17-14 to the New England Patriots. QB Mitchell Trubisky had quite a memorable game, throwing an interception for just 5.09 yards per shot.
Speaking of close games, Cleveland missed a PAT kick in the fourth quarter last Sunday against the New York Jets that came back to chase them. Cleveland had victory within reach, but couldn’t quite claim it as the team lost to New York by 31-30. The matchup was a 14-14 toss-up at halftime, but the Browns were outplayed the rest of the way. Despite the loss, they pulled off a solid performance from RB Nick Chubb, who grabbed three quick touchdowns.
After both suffering close defeats, these teams will undoubtedly fight for every inch to win this game. We’ll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
