The end of the road for Cleveland. The Browns and to a lesser extent the Steelers have limped over the line to get this far. For the Browns this is mission accomplished after 18 barren years of playoff football. For Pittsburgh, nothing less than a Superbowl appearance will be considered a disappointment.
The Browns have been badly hit with Covid and key injuries and struggled to do enough last week against the Steeler backups. If they are going to win, someone is going to have to step up and whilst Nick Chubb looks there best hope of doing that, it may all be on the shoulders of Baker Mayfield.
QB's rarely win there first playoff start and Mayfield seems unlikely to buck that trend and will likely find himself sacked 4 or 5 times.
Roethlisberger seemed to find his mojo in the second half of week 16 after a very poor spell. He should continue to improve this week as Pittsburgh stroll to a 21 point win. James Conner will post 125+ scrimmage yards (rush and receiving) and find the end zone twice.
