The Browns finally broke the league’s longest playoff drought and are the Number 6 seed in the playoffs. Their opponent is not only familiar, but was their final game – the Pittsburgh Steelers.
So, the stage is set. For the Browns to move deeper into the post-season, they must beat Pittsburgh again. Make that twice in eight days. In Pittsburgh. The rematch is set to be the weekend’s final game slated for Sunday night with kickoff at 8:15pm (eastern) telecast on NBC.
This time, however, the Steelers will be playing their varsity players as they held out many starters in Cleveland’s 24-22 narrow victory which clinched the playoff berth.
