The Steelers are 9-6 and coming off a huge 29-24 win on the road against the Detroit Lions. Pittsburgh needs just one win or tie in its final two games to secure the AFC North title and a playoff spot. However, they will be without wide receiver DK Metcalf, who was suspended two games for an altercation with a fan in Detroit, and the squad will still be without T.J. Watt, who they are hoping can return from lung surgery next week.
It would have been poetic for Watt to be on the field Sunday as there is a strong possibility that his record of 22.5 sacks in a season, an accomplishment he earned in 2021 that tied Michael Strahan’s 2001 single-season mark, will be broken by Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett. Garrett comes into the game with 22 and is hoping he can bring down Aaron Rodgers in a more definitive fashion than Strahan brought down Brett Favre when he set the record more than 20 years ago.
The teams played in a 23-9 contest that the Steelers won back in October, and the Browns were held without a sack in that contest despite Rodgers having 30 pass attempts.
