Pretty good take...

Look, winning road games is tough and the Steelers are like 6/2 at home for a while now. If we can steal a couple road games, stay healthy, win more at home than we lose? Well, the math should holdup.

Now that's some good company.

Since 2014, the only defensive end with more sacks than Griffen (31½) is Houston’s J.J. Watt (39½ ).

I think we can beat the Steelers, as XR should be a better corner than the Browns could provide, and ol' Ben ain't what he was.

This is an exciting matchup against a consistent playoff team, as well as another top-flight QB.
