Head-to-Head Cleveland Browns vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Being division rivals, the Browns and Steelers have played several times over the years – the sample size of their head-to-head matchups is significant.
The Browns are 1-0 following a surprisingly emphatic win over a presumed title contender in the Cincinnati Bengals. Jim Schwartz, in his first game as the team’s defensive coordinator, coached a unit that clamped down Joe Burrow and company en route to the 24-3 win. The Browns’ offense remains an incomplete project, but they controlled the game with over 200 yards on 40 rushing attempts.
The Steelers spent Week 1 being embarrassed at home by another presumed title contender in the San Francisco 49ers. The offense made several mistakes – including two interceptions by Kenny Pickett – while the defense failed to contain Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk in the 7-30 loss.
