When Ben Roethlisberger’s Steelers opened the season with 11 consecutive wins, they almost had a sense of destiny about them. But defeats in four of their final five games knocked some wind out of their sails. An eventual 12-4 record left them trailing Kansas City and Buffalo in the overall AFC standings.
One of those late losses came against the Browns, who had their own eyes on some much-needed history this season. Cleveland last reached the playoffs way back in 2002. While they met some obstacles along the way, Baker Mayfield’s Browns did enough to secure an 11-5 record and another shot at the Steelers.
Kick-off is at 8:15pm ET at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. The Steelers had hoped to welcome some fans to the facility, but can only have 2,500 total people in attendance, which will be made up of players, officials, friends and families.

This is another mouth-watering match-up with plenty of intriguing storylines. Firstly Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski and four of his players are being forced to miss their drought-breaking finals appearance due to positive COVID-19 tests.
There is also some added spice from the infamous incident between Pittsburgh’s Mason Rudolph and the Browns’ Myles Garrett. The latter swung Rudolph’s own helmet at the Steelers’ back-up quarterback last season and earned himself a suspension.
In terms of a winner, with coach Mike Tomlin resting some key players last week, we expect the refreshed Steelers to win fairly comfortably and keep their season rolling.
