ESPN: No. 9

Last Week: No. 9

"“The Steelers could use a win following their first four-game losing streak since 2013, and they may very well get one this week at Cleveland. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is 19-2 in his career against the Browns, who are 0-10 this season.”"

Steelers stay still, and reasonably so. ESPN was not an outlet that decided to drop the Steelers off the face of the earth following their loss to Baltimore but moving them up after a loss would be silly when they’re already in the top 10.

The fact of the matter is this. The Steelers are 4-5 and barely hanging onto playoff hopes. Luckily, as the author of this pointed out, the Steelers play the Browns this week; a perfect time to turn things around.

Pittsburgh might be known for losing to bad teams, but Roethlisberger is 19-2 in his career against the Browns and I don’t think they should have an ounce of over confidence heading into this one after the stretch of losses they have endured.

Another thing to note is that Baltimore has played Cleveland twice already and Pittsburgh still has both of those games left. Hidden advantage? Maybe so.
