The Steelers and Browns are coming into both with a 6-3 record. Both teams are looking to make a run to claim 1st place in the division and a playoff run. The Steelers are entering this game missing starting safeties Minkah Fitzpatrick and Keanu Neal. although they are more in likely getting starting tight end Pat Freiermuth back this week, who has spent the last month on the injured reserve list.
The Browns lost a key member of the team this week with starting quarterback DeShaun Watson being placed on the injured reserve list with a shoulder injury. They are also going to be missing wide receiver Marquise Goodwin and defensive back Juan Thornhill in this matchup.
