Steelers vs Browns Preview
The Cleveland Browns had a chance to lock up their first playoff berth since 2002 last week, but could not overcome the Jets after a flurry of positive tests that sidelined their top four wide receivers. The Browns have closed their facilities three times this week and have had multiple players test positive. Cornerback Denzel Ward, tight end Harrison Bryant, linebackers Malcolm Smith and B.J. Goodson, and safety Andrew Sendejo have all tested positive.
“I am just really dealing with it day to day and hour by hour in terms of what we have going on. We are in constant communication with the league and with our medical staff and finding out what we can do,” Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said. “Coaches, we have been burning the cell phones up – a lot a lot of phone calls and a lot of Zoom calls. We are getting our work done. We are just going to really lean heavily on the medical professionals and follow their guidelines, and that is what we have done to date.”
Meanwhile, the Steelers are resting their starters, having locked up the AFC North already. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, defensive lineman Cam Heyward, center Maurkice Pouncey and linebacker T.J. Watt will not play.
That means that Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph will draw the start, and he has a history with the Browns, specifically defensive end Myles Garrett. Last season Garrett ripped off the helmet of Rudolph and hit him with it, inciting a brawl.
But Steelers skipper Mike Tomlin has been firm he wants to put the drama of last season behind them.
“This is his first opportunity at extended play in 2020 so I am excited to see his growth and maturation,” Tomlin said. “He has worked hard behind the scenes daily. He has brought an approach as if he is going to start. Now, he gets an opportunity to apply that approach and apply that work that he has had. I am excited about the prospects of his performance, but again, the play will define itself.”
Garrett and Rudolph have not spoken since the incident, but Garrett said he’d be open to reconcile.
“I have no problem reaching out to him or talking to him before or after the game. I would never say I am smack talking during the game. I will just enjoy it. I will go out there and play the best I can. At the end of the day, it is not me versus him. It is me versus their line and the Steelers versus the Browns. If he wants to talk after the game, talk before the game or whatever happens, let it come naturally. I do not think anybody has any problems with each other. Just have to go with the flow.”
The Browns are a 10-point favorite for the matchup.
