CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns (2-8) take on the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers (8-2) on Thursday Night Football. The Browns are coming off a bad loss to New Orleans, 35-14 and the Steelers had a big win over the Baltimore Ravens, 18-16.
The Browns will hope quarterback Jameis Winston throws the ball as well as he did in the Browns loss to the Saints when he threw for almost 400 yards with no picks.
The Browns won the last time these two teams played in Cleveland, 13-10. Quarterbacking the Browns that day was Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Kenny Pickett was the Steelers QB.
Russell Wilson will be QB for the Steelers, but with all the success the Saints Taysom Hill had running the ball out of the wildcat against the Browns — three TDs — expect the Steelers to have QB Justin Fields to run out of the wildcat too.
