The Steelers hope to get off to a quick start after their bye, so here are four questions the team will have to answer vs. the Browns.
The Pittsburgh Steelers had a restful bye week during the Week 7 games, and now they look to improve upon their 3-3 record this week against the Cleveland Browns. While Cleveland is injured right now, there is no reason to believe that this game will be easy for the team. The Browns have one of the most consistent offenses and a defense that has taken some serious steps forward. Here are four burning questions the Steelers will have to answer in their Week 8 matchup.
4. Can the Steelers offensive line jell?
The bye week came at a good time for the Steelers’ offensive line. Zach Banner was still working his way back into the lineup while Dan Moore suffered an injury against the Seattle Seahawks. The line had an extra week to heal up and work as a unit last week, the question now is, did they take any steps forward during the bye week?
While not a great unit still, they were beginning to play more consistently and get more of a push in the run game, turning a corner against the Seahawks. Now, they will have to continue to work together as well as accommodate a new starter in Banner. The bye week was good, as it allowed some time for this group to adjust, but now this group has to show that they are still trending in the right direction.
