It is almost time for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns to square off on Monday Night Football. This game is big for both teams as the Browns hope to move to 2-0 and the Steelers are trying to avoid starting the season 0-2. Here are the four matchups to watch in tonight’s game.
Browns OT Dawand Jones vs Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt
The rookie Jones has made some pretty bold claims about stopping Watt which should just fire up Watt to play even harder. Jones poked the bear and we can’t wait to see how he responds.
Browns QB Deshaun Watson vs Steelers QB Kenny Pickett
Both of these teams boast physical running games and both of these quarterbacks had quiet games in Week One. Which one steps up this week?
Browns RB Nick Chubb vs the Steelers ILB
Pittsburgh is going to throw everything but the kitchen sink at Chubb and it still might not be enough. Pittsburgh has a rotation of inside linebackers and we want to see if they can play better than they did against the 49ers run game.
Steelers WR George Pickens vs Browns CB Denzel Ward
This is one of the marquee matchups of the entire weekend. Ward is a true shutdown cornerback and Pickens is the Steelers best big-play option in the passing game.
