Cleveland Browns Week 11 score predictions: Looking for a win over Steelers
By Randy Gurzi
The Cleveland Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football. Our crew predicts whether or not they can pull off a prime time win in Week 11.
A big win in Week 10 stopped the bleeding for the Cleveland Browns, who entered that game against the Buffalo Bills on a four-game losing streak. While those losses came during a rather tough schedule, the team was feeling the frustration considering so many of them felt winnable.
The best example of that was their Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos. Trailing 24-19 with the ball in their hands, Cleveland marched into Denver territory.
Unfortunately, they were unable to seal the comeback as a fourth-down pass hit the turf when Baker Mayfield tried to force a pass to Jarvis Landry. That led to a lot of criticism since Odell Beckham, Jr. was in one-on-one coverage on the other side of the field and had his man beat.
Cleveland found themselves in a similar situation in Week 10 as they were down 16-12 with time running out. This time, they avoided disaster and Mayfield hit Rashard Higgins for a game-winning seven-yard touchdown — which was also the first of the year for Hollywood.
His famous red carpet celebration followed and the Browns hope to ride that high to another victory in Week 11. It won’t be easy though as they’re hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers on a short week. The good news is, they’re at home which gives them an advantage in the short turnaround.
So, can they pull off the win? That’s the question our DPD crew looks to answer with the following score predictions. And as always, if you like the writer’s take, click on their name to see more of their work.
