Cleveland Browns: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Don’t look now, but the Cleveland Browns actually have a ton of pressure on them to do well in 2019. After a tremendous finish to the 2018 season, Cleveland is poised to rock again as oddsmakers have installed the Browns as favorites to win the AFC North.

With a potential franchise quarterback in Baker Mayfield and a new toy for him to throw to in Odell Beckham Jr, the Browns are here to make our lives exciting again. Head coach Freddie Kitchens has a lot of talent to work with and the full trust of Mayfield, creating the potential for some really exciting football in the Dawg Pound.

In order to get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2002, the Browns will need to overcome one of their biggest bullies, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have made the Browns their personal punching bags for years, but the Browns took a step closer to beating them a year ago, tying in Cleveland in Week 1 before losing in Pittsburgh later in the year.

These aren’t your older brother’s Steelers either as both Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell are off to greener pastures. Ben Roethlisberger is still here to make Pittsburgh a threat, but clearing the mental hurdle of topping the Steelers could be the key to helping Cleveland unlock their potential.
