What to Watch for in Steelers vs. Browns Game:
The Steelers are 6-3, but many fans are questioning whether or not their road to success is sustainable. Pittsburgh is winning tightly contested games thanks to big plays by their defense in key moments. Offensively, they have found a way to run the ball effectively, but it hasn't led to a significant uptick in scoring.
Things won't get any easier as they face one of the best defenses in the NFL. All-Pro pass rusher Myles Garrett could prove to be a thorn in the side of Kenny Pickett, and the Steelers QB could be forced to get rid of the ball quickly. Pickett's performance hasn't been what fans expected halfway through his second NFL season, and he needs to find a way to step up his game.
With both of these AFC North teams sitting at 6-3, one will hold the upper hand following the results on Sunday. If the Steelers win, this will mark a clean sweep over the Browns in 2023 and would give Pittsburgh the tiebreaker in the event that they finish with the same record when it comes down to playoff seeding. This is a huge contest for both teams in Week 11.
