Cleveland Browns: 5 Bold predictions for Week 6 vs. Steelers

5. Hunt and Johnson both go for six

In Week 5, the Browns had to go without Nick Chubb following his knee injury against Dallas. With him out, Cleveland turned to Kareem Hunt as the starter. Having a former NFL rushing leader as the No. 2 back is a major luxury for the Browns and while Hunt didn’t light the world on fire, he did keep the defense honest with 72 yards on the ground and 21 through the air. He also added an impressive touchdown reception.

As good as Hunt has been, the Browns are able to go three-deep as D’Ernest Johnson has also been a solid contributor for them. He had 95 yards on just 13 carries against the Cowboys and another 32 on eight carries in Week 5, including a 28-yarder that helped ice the game.

In Week 6, they face a Steelers defense that has been rather stingy against the run, giving up just 138.8 yards per game which is eighth-best in the NFL according to ESPN.com. However, they have yet to really face an elite ground game which means the duo in Cleveland could do some unexpected damage to them.

That’s exactly what happens in this first prediction, as both Hunt and Johnson find a way to cross the goal line. For Hunt, it would be business as usual, but for Johnson, this would be his first NFL score, which would surely be a memorable one.
