4 Reasons Cleveland Browns will beat Pittsburgh
By Greg Newland
4. We’ve got our mojo back
Does anyone remember the roll that the Tennessee Titans went on to end the year in 2019? Beating the Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, and then having a huge lead against the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. That Titans team under mediocre quarterback play from Ryan Tannehill almost made it to the Super Bowl. How do you ask? Running the football and building massive confidence.
Heading into Pittsburgh this week, the Browns have both of those. They have been dominant in the run game all season, and after winning four straight games for the first time in 26 years it’s safe to say they have their mojo back. Luckily for Cleveland, a crowd atmosphere also won’t be a factor which is a huge benefit.
Not only do the Browns have their mojo back and a dominant run game, the Steelers offense finally looks to be dying from their superpower for the last decade. Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t look the same after elbow surgery and the weapons just aren’t the same since the departure of Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown.
The Browns will have to play a great game to get the win, and it would be huge if they can get right guard Wyatt Teller back, but they certainly have a shot to keep this streak alive next Sunday. Look for Kevin Stefanski to stay true to his roots and try to set the tone running the ball. The Steeler’s defense is as good as any, but at full strength, the Browns should be able to set the tone.
