Game: Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) at Cleveland Browns (3-6)

Summary: The Browns can absolutely pull this game out if they can somewhat keep Baker Mayfield clean. The Steelers defense is what will lose this game for the Browns. The Steelers offense is sub-par at best but can hit the big play if the Browns defense lets them.

Baker can keep this game close or run away with it as long as he doesn’t turn it over to the red hot Minkah Fitzpatrick. The Steelers front seven are a problem for a struggling offensive line also.

The real test should be Freddie Kitchens’ play-calling against a very good defense. The Steelers offense plays off of its defense and not before it. Mason Rudolph is no Big Ben and their weapons around him have not flourished as previously expected during the offseason.

This week will show fans what Freddie really is and what to expect from him in the future if he keeps his job after this season. Beating the Steelers is what dreams are made of for Browns fans and that is simply not good enough anymore. Going into this season it was the Browns time to shine and so far this year with subpar coaching, a struggling Baker Mayfield, and a defense that has been better at dealing out death threats than shutting down opposing offenses.

This is a very winnable game for the Cleveland Browns. The key will be the offensive line keeping Baker clean and give him time to work in a play-action to open up the defense and give them different looks.

Baker Mayfield can play smart. Freddie Kitchens can call plays. The defense can make stops. As long as OBJ can catch, Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt can run, this should be a close no-brainer.

Prediction: Cleveland 20, Pittsburgh 12
