The Pittsburgh Steelers are kicking off their divisional schedule with a home game against the Cleveland Browns.
These two teams are on opposite ends of the AFC North standings at the moment, but the Browns may actually have the best chance at making noise in the division — especially compared to the hapless Cincinnati Bengals and the MASH unit on the Baltimore Ravens.
The Browns will be starting rookie QB Dillon Gabriel for just his second career start. He showed some promise a week ago, and the youth movement on their offense has provided a spark with Quinshon Judkins and Harold Fannin Jr. looking like solid finds in the draft.
The Steelers will have their defense fully healthy for the first time all season as Jalen Ramsey was upgraded from questionable to healthy on Saturday. They can finally play the kind of defense they intended to entering the year with Ramsey being used as a chess piece in the secondary. Gabriel has his work cut out for him with a healthy defense to contend with.
On the flipside, the Browns’ defense has proven to be as formidable as ever with a 13-10 win over the Green Bay Packers on their resume. The Steelers have a tough task to keep Aaron Rodgers upright.
