How can the Cleveland Browns secure a win in Week 17?
The first meeting of the season between the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers did not go the Browns’ way. Coming into the game, the Browns had a record of 4-2 while the Steelers were 5-0. Although the Browns were underdogs, it was still predicted that the game would remain close.
This was not anywhere near the case. The Browns melted down as a result of the pressure of the Steelers’ defense and could not stop them if their lives depended on it.
It got so bad at the end of the game that Baker Mayfield was pulled at the end of the game and the reigns of the offense were given to Case Keenum. The first meeting between the two teams this season is one that Browns fans and players alike would like to forget and put behind them.
They have a chance to do this in the final game of the regular season. This game has major implications for the Browns and is a game that should not be taken lightly after the disappointing loss against the New York Jets last week.
It comes down to if the Browns win this game against the Steelers they are in the playoffs, however, if they lose against Pittsburgh it is likely they will once again miss the playoffs.
There are a few things that the Browns can do to win their most important game of the season and make the playoffs.
