Gameday 6: Cleveland Browns


1:00

Cleveland traded away Braylon Edwards last week, essentially making them the Pirates of the NFL. The Browns managed to beat the Bills last week 6-3 despite Derrick Anderson throwing for a grand total of 27 yards.

The Little Sisters of the Poor could score more than 6 points against Buffalo's defense.

The Steelers have been dealing with a flu bug going through the locker room. Hines had it early in the week. Mendenhall is just getting over it now, but should be okay tomorrow. Troy will be back in the secondary, but Aaron Smith is out. We'll probably see a big dose of Jamal Lewis. If we can shut him down and force Anderson to make plays, the game will go quite smoothly. The Browns have given up the 8th most sacks in the league, which means we could see another feeding frenzy for the linebackers.

Steelers-Browns History
All Time: Steelers 59-55

Last 5: Steelers 5-0

Current Streaks: Overall - Steelers 11, In Pittsburgh - Steelers 5

What you did know about Cleveland: They're a joke

What you didn't know about Cleveland: LeBron came down with the flu this week, so it's unlikely anyone in Ohio actually knows this game is happening. Most likely, it's 24/7 LeBron vomit watch in Cuyahoga County.
Where We'll Be:

John will be shunning fancy things like electricity out in Lancaster.

Ian will be at the slaughterhouse.

I (Ian) will post a few updates on Twitter, but it won't be anything big-time.


Big division rivalry game. Get your towels ready.
