Steelers vs. Browns should provide a strong conclusion to the NFL's 2021 wild-card round to kick off the playoffs.
Pittsburgh hosts Cleveland on Sunday night at 8:15 p.m. ET on NBC. It's the first playoff appearance for the Browns since 2002, and they beat the Steelers in Week 17 to secure the spot.
There are a lot of repeat moments in this matchup. First off, the last time Cleveland played in the playoffs, it was in the wild-card round against the Steelers. And second, this is a Week 17 rematch after the Browns won 24-22 on Sunday, Jan. 3.
STEELERS vs. BROWNS PICKS:
Against the spread | Straight-up predictions
Things will be different as these teams match up for the second time in as many weeks. The Steelers sat a number of players in Week 17 with seeding movement pretty much negligible for the AFC North champions, including Ben Roethlisberger and T.J. Watt. The big guns will all be back for Pittsburgh.
For Cleveland, it'll be a two-headed running attack of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt teaming up behind Baker Mayfield to try and upset the Steelers. The Browns' game-long success could also depend on Myles Garrett and the Cleveland pass rush causing Roethlisberger issues despite Pittsburgh's quick passing attack.
