CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns head to Pittsburgh in Week 6 to take on the Steelers, the top team in the AFC North coming off of their bye week.
The Browns are 1-4 after a loss to the Vikings in London last week and once again turn to rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, making his second start.
The Steelers (3-1) are currently 6.5-point favorites and their defense has been a turnover machine this season with 10 takeaways, second-most in the league.
Will the Browns pull an AFC North upset this week at Acrisure Stadium or will the Steelers tighten their grip on the early AFC North race.
