AFC North standings: Steelers need a win in Week 8 to leapfrog Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers (3-3) vs Cleveland Browns (4-3), Sunday at 1 P.M. ET

The Steelers are coming off their bye week as they get ready to face the Browns. The playoff loss last year will be brought up constantly, but this team needs to move forward because both of these clubs are different from the last time they saw each other.

The Browns might be without a good chunk of their starters this week yet again. The injury report will be closely followed as the week of practices roll along. Even though Cleveland might be without some starters, they will put up a big fight.

These dogs came to life on Thursday night as they took care of business against the Broncos in an ugly game. Pittsburgh will need to play well so they can secure victory even though the Browns will have people missing from the lineup.

Cleveland’s offensive line is no joke and that could lead to the Browns victory if they do emerge with a win. They are a dominant front and that should be a concern for Pittsburgh, heading into the stadium. No matter who is lined up as the quarterback or running back, that line will give them every opportunity to succeed.

The AFC North will have a huge match-up between the Steelers and the Browns and it should be a fun week as the Ravens get some rest in Week 8.
