Going into Sunday’s game, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns find themselves shorthanded but continuing to fight for a spot in the playoffs. Both teams are 6-3 with the Steelers holding the edge in the AFC North thanks to the win over Cleveland earlier in the season.
The Steelers go into the game hobbled on defense with multiple starters out including both starting safeties. Practice squad player Triston Thompson will get his first NFL start next to Damontae Kazee in the defensive secondary while inside linebacker Mykal Walker will start next to Elandon Roberts fresh off the practice squad himself.
For the Browns, they lost quarterback Deshaun Watson for the season last week and will go with rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Pittsburgh typically gives rookie quarterbacks a hard time and has the best pass-rushing tandem in the NFL in T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith.
Cast your vote and tell us who you think gets the win this Sunday. We are going with the Steelers in a close one but this is one that really could go either way and might come down to one of those famous Kenny Pickett fourth-quarter comebacks.
