When the Pittsburgh Steelers head to Ohio for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns, they know what they’re getting into already. They’ve been here before. There’s a little bit of old, but a little bit of new as well. Cleveland is one of the teams that most consistently churns over its roster year after year, so they know the cast will be different. But the circumstances are quite similar to last year.
“We recognize the challenge that this is. Opening our season on the road in a hostile environment against a divisional opponent, a rival”, Head Coach Mike Tomlin said during his pre-game press conference.
