Browns must control the clock
| Why To Watch At first glance, this looks like a mismatch between two bitter division foes. Pittsburgh continues to roll with a dominating defense and a suffocating ball-control run game, while the Browns struggle with consistency on both sides of the ball. However, the Browns are quietly becoming more competitive and they are developing a strong run game of their own with RB Reuben Droughns. QB Trent Dilfer is making safer throws and they look like a more efficient team each week.
If you like a lot of passing, this is not your game. Both teams will try to control the clock with the run game, they will work to minimize mistakes and turnovers and they will lean on their respective defenses to make big plays and keep them in the game. This is an old-fashioned backyard brawl and it will likely be a lot closer than most people think.
