Browns vs Steelers Preview
The Browns were fairly dominant in a 21-7 victory over the Steelers on Nov. 14, but the final score was long forgotten by the time the game was over.
In the final seconds, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett bashed quarterback Mason Rudolph over the head with a helmet, leading to an indefinite suspension and a bevy of fines.
“I feel like they circled this game after that last one,” Browns running back Kareem Hunt said. “So they’re definitely going to come out ready to hit and do whatever it takes to inflict their will on us. So we’ve just got to go out there and be more physical.”
The Browns have gone 7-34-1 against the Steelers since 1999 and haven’t swept them since 1988. On top of that, Cleveland hasn’t won on the Steelers home turf since 2003. Because of the lack of success the Browns have had, Cleveland head coach Freddie Kitchens is timid to even call it a rivalry.
“To me, it takes two to have a rivalry,” Kitchens told reporters on Wednesday. “We have to do our part. That is probably not going to sit well with some people, but to me, you have to win your share to make a rivalry.
I do not think our team has done anything. Our team needs to be focused on this week. I think that is what they feel. We have not done anything. What have we done? We have not done anything.”
The Browns stumbled to a 2-6 start, but have won three in a row. A victory against the Steelers would help their playoff hopes in a big way.
“We are only worried about this week, and we do not even care what ramifications it has,” Kitchens said. “That is not even in our realm of thinking. We are only worried about preparing today. Truly feel like our guys are only worried about preparing today. They have demonstrated that over the course of the week. Let’s see if we can stay hyper-focused again this week, and that means today. We have to narrow our window of what we are focusing on, and that is just today.”
The Steelers will be starting undrafted rookie Devlin “Duck” Hodges against the Browns after two consecutive bad weeks from Rudolph, who tossed four interceptions in the last matchup against the Browns.
“He has not killed us,” Tomlin explained when asked about the benefit of starting Hodges. “There are not enough plays on his resume to paint with a broad brush. … There is going to be enough pressure on Devlin to perform, so I’m not going to add to it by talking expectations.”
The Browns are two-point favorites for the game.
