1. Silence the crowd.
2. Pressure the QB
3. Win the turnover ratio.
4. Stop the run.
5. Stop the deep threats.

we have to:

1. Limit their splash plays on defense (sacks, fumbles, INTs)
2. Eliminate Pickens and Freiermuth. Those are the two worries for me.
3. Win the 3rd and short/medium battle on both ends

In no particular order . . . .
1) Bring your swagger turned up to about 12;
2) Get your first sacks early along with pressures and knockdowns;
3) Create takeaways always!;
4) Limit penalties; give them nothing to help them; and
5) "Badassery!" just because I like typing it, and also we need the entire defense to be agents of chaos.

Unleash the Elf! Go, Browns!

Disrupt the receivers' timing and keep Kenny Pickett sped up.

Normally when we play the Steelers. I feel like well this going to be rough.

For whatever reason I feel at ease.

Watching the defense play through the pre-season games and then playing the Bengals. I am confident in how they are playing.

The offense may still take some games to really get rolling. But the defense has come to play.

If we don't turn it over I feel damn good about our chances.
