Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers

When: Sunday, Sept. 7
Time: 1:00 pm
TV Broadcast: CBS

Let’s see…

Division rivals? Check.

Physical teams? Check.

X-factor? Check…namely, Johnny Manziel.

Love him or hate him, wishing for success or failure, nobody will be able to look away from the potential heroics-train wreck named Johnny Manziel.

Johnny Football may not even get into the game (but then again, with Brian Hoyer’s injury history, anything is possible), but just as when Tim Tebow entered the league in 2010, there will be fans clamoring for Manziel’s entrance into the game as soon as things look tough for the Browns.

This one will be a good look if you want to see to great defenses matched up in a game, and if you want to see Ben Roethlisberger show Manziel how a scramble is really done.

Good, old-fashioned hate rivalry, mixed up with a polarizing rookie quarterback sitting on the bench will be too tantalizing not to watch.
