We are under 46 hours away from Thursday Night Football in Cleveland.
The Browns and Steelers square off at 8:15 PM ET on Amazon Prime Video, and the stakes couldn't be higher.
It has been 13,426 days since Cleveland last ruled the division. If we want to change that, it starts by taking out Pittsburgh and taking over first place in this division. It’s time to punch them right in the mouth, protect home turf, and make it seven out of the last eight times they've left Cleveland with a loss.
HERE WE GO BROWNIES! HERE WE GO!!

We have a chance to make a statement on Thursday night. Steelers at home, first place on the line and national attention being the only game played that day. It's an oppurtunity to show everyone we're not the same old Cleveland Browns.

It's definitely an opportunity ... the sort that in the past we have failed spectacularly at. Same as last week - while I'm desperately hoping we beat the Steelers, that isn't the be all and end all. I hope we are competitive and look like we belong.
We are 2.5 point dogs ... we can certainly win if we are firing on all cylinders and get put some pressure on Rodgers ... Like last week we have to prevent turnovers.

True. Not the end of the world if we lose but it would be great to win, no matter how we do it, and have a great 10 days until our next game!!!

The game feels like who handles the pressure?
Both teams want to pressure the qb. Who wins those battles?
The team who commits the turnovers will lose this game.
DW will need to be mobile. He is going to be pressured.
We need the rush to get after Rodgers.
I expect a low scoring tough game.

Not what I would call a "trap game," but it is bigger with a few wins under our belt. I think we will need to be a bit more clever, establish the run to our best ability early, severely avoid penalties and drive-killing stupidity, and get sacks. Growing up, we often split with these guys. Must score. I also believe we need at least one takeaway. Maybe a score. But whatever we need! Go, Browns

Here it is with week four beginning and the Steelers coming into Cleveland on national television Thursday night. There's nothing surprising about that since this game has been on the schedule for a while now. The surprising part for me is that the Browns are 2-1, we have reasons to believe they have a legitimate shot to beat the Stealers and I'm very excited to see that game on Thursday night.
I did not have that on my Bingo card going into this season.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

I expect a low scoring tough game. One thing I think is safe to say, even with watson's previous injuries he is much more mobile than Rodgers at this stage of their careers. Advantage Browns.
