We all know the big names that have to step up for the Cleveland Browns to win in Week 11, but these guys have to shine as well

The Cleveland Browns scored a huge win this past week as Baker Mayfield found Rashard Higgins in the end zone for a seven-yard touchdown that proved to be the game-winner over the Buffalo Bills.

It was a much-needed win for a team that had lost four-straight games previously. This came after a convincing Week 4 win over the Baltimore Ravens which gave them an early share of first place in the AFC North.

Hopes were high at that time but the drought soured things for the young franchise and had many people turning on rookie head coach Freddie Kitchens — who has struggled mightily in his first season.

Thankfully, the team found a way to finally win and that could take a lot of pressure off Kitchens as well as Mayfield who hasn’t been as sharp as he was during his rookie season. Clearly, they will need No. 6 on top of his game to win their next game, which comes on a short week as they host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football.

However, it won’t only be the stars such as Mayfield, Myles Garrett, or Nick Chubb that will have to rise to the occasion this week. Cleveland will also need some of their role players to shine.

This team does have plenty of players on their roster who are somewhat under the radar going into this huge rivalry week against Pittsburgh Steelers. Here, we dive into four of those who need to step up in order for them to win their second game in a row.
