Game Preview

The Cleveland Browns traveled to London to face the Vikings and lost the game, 21-17. Their defense couldn’t hold Minnesota in the final moments, allowing a touchdown with 25 seconds to go. However, this loss can’t be attributed to the defensive unit; that wouldn’t be fair.

Dillon Gabriel replaced Joe Flacco at the QB position, and he did well, having 190 passing yards for two touchdown passes. However, the star of the game in Cleveland was a rookie RB Quinshon Judkins, who ran for 110 yards.

The Cleveland Browns had a Rookie QB in Dillon Gabriel making his first career start and threw 2 TDs with no turnovers on foreign soil. Had a rookie running back run for 110 yards. Had a defense force 2 turnovers and get 3 sacks. And still lost. That’s a coaching issue.

The Steelers had a free weekend and were able to spend some time healing, adjusting, and preparing for the upcoming challenges. This team is solid for the moment, but that loss to the Seahawks is raising some concerns. For instance, their rushing game is terrible, with only 80 yards on the ground per game.

Aaron Rodgers has just 786 yards through 4 rounds, which isn’t good at all, and he has reached 8 touchdown passes with 3 picks. RB Kenneth Gainwell posted 154 yards wth 3 touchdowns, but he really isn’t contributing too much. We could say that his numbers are very bad for a starting RB.

Browns vs. Steelers Head to Head

Pittsburgh has 82 wins, the Browns have 64, and there was one tie, too. Last year, both teams won games at home – the Browns 24-19 and the Steelers 27-14.

Browns vs. Steelers Predictions

This one is going to be an old-school backyard fight. The Over/Under line is at 38.5 points, and we should go with the under. These two teams are all about defense.
