Cleveland Browns Week 6 score predictions: Myles Garrett redemption tour

Game: Cleveland Browns (4-1) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-0)
Summary: The AFC north may be the best division in football and this game will be a shining example of it. Neither of these teams is considered the best in the division but this promises to be one of the best games of the weekend. Both teams come into this game off of big wins last week against good teams.
The Cleveland Browns have found a formula to win football games whether it’s pretty or not. They run the football, they get big plays on offense and defense and they are very physical. Pittsburgh is always physical but their front seven is special this year. The Browns will be without Nick Chubb again so Kareem Hunt and D’Earnest Johnson will have to step it up against the second-best run defense in the NFL.
This is the first time these two teams will matchup since the infamous events of week ten last season when Myles Garrett nearly started a riot by ripping off Mason Rudolph’s helmet and hitting him with it. There has been a lot of talk this week about whether there will be any carry over into this game but that doesn’t seem likely.
It’s not like these teams aren’t good, there is something to play for on both sides. If things get heated in this game it will be because of the physicality which sometimes leads to extracurricular activity but Cleveland has been much more disciplined under Kevin Stefanski and everyone knows Mike Tomlin runs a tight ship in Pittsburgh.
It feels like these teams are on an even playing field for the first time in a long time and the loser of this game could be the first team to make a mistake. Historically that would be Cleveland but this is a new year so Pittsburgh will be the first team to slip up and there will be a changing of the guard in this rivalry.
Prediction: Browns 27, Steelers 20
