Cleveland at Pittsburgh



Browns-Steelers Preview



Although the Pittsburgh Steelers are suddenly facing some adversity on defense, the Cleveland Browns may need a little more help to finally beat their arch-rivals.

The reigning Super Bowl champions have won 11 straight and 16 of 17 against the Browns, and they'll try to continue that dominance when the teams face off at Heinz Field on Sunday.

The Steelers (3-2) have won back-to-back games following a difficult start, with their offense solidified by the emergence of running back Rashard Mendenhall.

Pittsburgh's vaunted defense, however, took a major hit during last Sunday's 28-20 win over Detroit when defensive end Aaron Smith -- a starter for the Steelers in all but two games this decade -- suffered a season-ending right shoulder injury.

But Troy comes back this week and Willie Parker.I think Cleveland doesn't have a chance.

I will say this. Derek Anderson, QB for the Browns, is going to have to do a lot better than 2 - 17, 22 yards to have a shot in this game. Browns defense seems to be playing well lately.

Steelers offense has been playing at a very high level lately as Big Ben is having a great year so far. I don't see the Browns offense doing much in this game.

Prediction: Steelers 34 Browns 10

Anybody give the Browns a shot here on the road?

I agree absolutely Mike. I think this is the biggest mismatch in games being played this week.

If Anderson is starting QB I think the Browns have a better chance if the offense doesn't even show up.

Need a little help? You are kidding of course.
And at the home of the Terrible Towel too yet.
This will be awful. Whether Polamalu and Parker come back or not.

and I will bet that it won't go to overtime either.

Was that a shot?
Yeah, that was a shot.
