The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns face off on Sunday in an NHL showdown at FirstEnergy Stadium.
Steelers Continue to Win
The Steelers haven’t looked dominant with the stats but they continue to win games. In the last game against the Green Bay Packers, but they didn’t look good, but they made just enough plays to secure the 23-19 victory. Running back Jaylen Warren had a strong game putting up 101 yards and a touchdown. Overall this season the Steelers are averaging 17.3 points while their defense is giving up 20.2 points per game. The defense is ranked 11th, and has kept them in games. In this game, Kenny Pickett is going to need to have a big game and really put some pressure on the Browns.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson to Start for the Browns
With Deshaun Watson being ruled out for the season the Browns are going to turn to rookie Dorian Thompson Robinson to get the start. He was a standout with the UCLA Bruins, but he’s still young, and this is a big spot where he’s going to be tested. Last Sunday the Browns faced off against the Baltimore Ravens and they ended up winning 33-31. Running back Jerome Ford finished with 17 carries for 107 yards. The Browns are averaging 23.8 points while their defense is giving up 18.9 points per game.

Shane’s Free Pick
This is going to be an ugly game. The Steelers can’t be trusted to score with their offense and I also don’t expect Dorian Thompson Robinson to find a whole lot of success. The Browns are giving up only 18.9 points per game. If this game ended 10-6 it wouldn’t be that shocking to anyone. There isn’t a strong play on the side but bad quarterback play all around is going to keep this game under the total.
