What: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns
When: Sunday 1 pm
Vegas: Browns (-1) OVER/UNDER: 47
This picture brings a tear to my eye
The Ebola filled Pittsburgh Steelers come into Sundays game riding high after a win against the mighty Jaguars 17-9. Big Ben threw for 273 yards and a TD, LeVeon Bell rushed for 82 yards, and Antonio Brown had 5 catches for 84 yards.
Last week the Browns completed the biggest road comeback win in the history of the NFL, beating the Titans 29-28. Brian Hoyer completed 21/37 passes for 291 yards, Ben Tate rushed for a career high 124 yards, and the receivers were led by Taylor Gabriel (95 yds) and Travis Benjamin (2 TDs).

WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Which Browns team are we?
Are the Browns the first half team we saw in Pittsburgh get outscored 24-3? Or are they the second half team that outscored the Steelers 21-3 in the second half? My guess is they’re somewhere in the middle. The Browns CANNOT come out flat and get behind early in front of their home crowd.
Joe Haden(?) vs. Antonio Brown
So you’re telling me our cornerback who struggles guarding Pittsburgh’s premier wideout when said cornerback is healthy now has an injured hip?? Fuck. That’s not good for the city of Cleveland. Hips are pretty important when you’re a defensive back so I’ve heard. If Haden plays I’d like to see A LOT of Tashaun Gipson help on Antonio Brown’s side. I’m not afraid of their other pass catchers. Markus Wheaton is a bum and Heath Miller is a hillbilly. Stop Antonio Brown and you have a very good chance to come out with a W. If Haden doesn’t play, you might have a couple instances where you want to punch out your TV.
Has Spencer Lanning learned how to combat flying leg kicks?
This was last time:
Hopefully this is what he does tomorrow when Antonio Brown flies at him:
