What to Know

Pittsburgh have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. They will look to defend their home turf on Sunday against Cleveland at 1:00 p.m. Pittsburgh are a solid favorite in this one, with an expected 8-point point margin of victory.

It was all tied up at the half for Pittsburgh and Cincinnati two weeks ago, but Pittsburgh stepped up in the second half. Pittsburgh walked away with a 28-21 victory over Cincinnati. Among those leading the charge for Pittsburgh was James Conner, who rushed for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns on 19 carries.

Meanwhile, Cleveland fought the good fight in their overtime match last Sunday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. It was close but no cigar for Cleveland as they fell 23-26 to Tampa Bay.

Pittsburgh's win lifted them to 3-2-2 while Cleveland's loss dropped them down to 2-4-2. Pittsburgh's offensive line will need to gear up for a tough test against a Cleveland defensive front that amassed six sacks against Tampa Bay, so we'll see if they are up to the task.
