Browns vs Steelers: A game filled with subplots!
The Browns Steelers match up this Sunday is filled with interesting subplots, both in the days running up to the game and on gameday itself:
Subplots before Gameday:
Subplots before Gameday:
- Will Mike Tomlin rest any starters?
- Will Browns players who had to sit out Sunday because they were exposed to Goodson get Covid or will they not come down with Covid and be eligible to play. This is huge for the Browns: Landry, Higgins, Hodge, Peoples-Jones and Phillips.
- Does Jedrick Wills have Covid or not? Another huge unknown that we will know more about soon
- Can Wyatt Teller get back on the field Sunday. Against the Steelers there will be nowhere to hide a rookie Guard, the Jets exposed Harris's weaknesses, imagine what Pittsburgh might come up with.
Gameday subplots:
- Will the Browns win and make the playoffs for the first time in ice ages?
- If Tomlin rests Big Ben, will Mason Rudolph and Myles Garrett clash?
- If Tomlin does not rest his starters, is he doing so to keep his team sharp for the playoffs or is there an element of revenge not to mention an emotional edge in the future vs an emerging Browns team? Denying the Browns a playoff spot would certainly feel sweet to Mike Tomlin who cannot possibly enjoy hearing all year long how great a coach Kevin Stefanski is while he has never been given any credit after 14 winning seasons and a Super Bowl.
- Can Baker Mayfield get back into top form after a 3 fumble game vs the Jets?
Looking forward to a very dramatic Sunday in Cleveland.
Go Browns!
Go Browns!
