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.

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?

[Bette]

I think giving them 10 points is rather generous.
I will give them 3, and the Steelers 37.

That's my quarterback (sniff, sniff)

Browns did better than I thought they would, but still lost to the Steelers 27-14.
Is anyone besides me having questions about this Steeler team? They win, but they dont put away teams like the Browns and the Lions the way they should.

I'm kinda feeling like a cowboy fan.It was a win but it wasn't pretty.With the numbers Ben put up you would have thought the Browns didn't have a chance.
