The Steelers head to Cleveland this week to play in a huge AFC North game that could dictate who makes the playoffs in 2021.

It is going to be a tough game as the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns head into a huge game on Sunday. It will be a scary setting as the Halloween backdrop makes this matchup more fun. It will be a terrifying ordeal for the club that loses this one while the victor shall enjoy the scare that they inflict.

The Browns head into this game with a 4-3 record after overcoming their injury woes and beating the Denver Broncos. That orange and blue team is nothing to scoff at but they don’t seem to be as competitive as their record earlier this season showed. Cleveland was able to win without their starting quarterback and running back in the lineup. It was a tough victory but they were able to get above 500 again.

Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh is the first AFC North divisional game for Cleveland. They will look to start on the right foot and keep their winning ways moving forward. This is now the stretch run for these squads but it will be hard with the number of players not at 100%.

The Steelers are coming off a bye week of rest and while one week won’t fix all the injuries, it will help players recoup some. Now they get ready for one of the biggest games of the season. They head on the road in hopes of winning their first divisional game in 2021.

It was not fun the last time they faced an AFC North opponent as they got beat by the Cincinnati Bengals 24-10. This is a good division and winning on the road is even tougher, but the Steelers need to win this game if they want some serious playoff chances down the line.
