00:00Steelers-Browns.
00:01Steelers at Browns.
00:02This is a big divisional matchup, big in-division game.
00:06Now, I don't know how you feel about this.
00:09John, you said it last week, like the Deshaun Watson renaissance kind of happened.
00:14But you look at it, and he didn't really play that well.
00:16They just won, and he made some good plays.
00:18So what do you have in this?
00:20Steelers-Browns?
00:21Anything?
00:22A mid-off, as the kids like to say.
00:25Another one.
00:26A mid-off.
00:27This is a mid-off to end all mid-offs.
00:29Aaron Rodgers has not played well at all.
00:32Because, I don't know, a couple of double moves in the last game,
00:37and now all of a sudden Aaron Rodgers is back?
00:40I don't think so.
00:41I think at the end of the day, what you saw from Deshaun Watson
00:45is a good sign if you're a Browns fan.
00:48Some may be a bad sign because now he keeps playing.
00:51But I thought that what you saw from the Browns was just Deshaun Watson
00:55found a way to win a game after not playing well, which is a good sign.
00:58But I don't think this game tomorrow is any indication that this is going to be
01:05impactful in how the division plays out.
01:07I don't think that the Steelers are going to really be there at the end.
01:11And I also don't think that – I think this is a Ravens-Bangles situation
01:15that will work itself out.
01:16I don't think the Browns and Steelers will play any part in it.
01:19Yeah, listen, I'm kind of right there with you.
01:23I mean, the Browns and the Steelers met on Thursday Night Football in 2024.
01:28That was a game that was – it was 24-19.
01:31The Browns won over the Steelers.
01:34That was a complete blizzard.
01:37So that don't count.
01:38I remember that game.
01:39You could see nothing.
01:40It was a complete blizzard.
01:42So, yeah, I'm not going to put –
01:44Jameis Winston actually started that game for the Browns.
01:47Nick Chubb had two touchdowns.
01:49But that was the last time they met on Thursday Night Football.
01:51And, John, you look at this team, this Pittsburgh team,
01:56I just think – I don't know if they'll produce enough offense
01:59to justify being a road favorite here because I know that Aaron Rodgers
02:05has had moments.
02:06I understand that Aaron Rodgers has had some throws.
02:09It was like, oh, man, a real renaissance for Aaron Rodgers.
02:13I just – I don't see it.
02:15Like, I think Cleveland in this one just keep it close
02:18and kind of just force Pittsburgh to make mistakes.
02:22I mean, that's kind of all you can do at this point.
02:24Do you trust Cleveland?
02:26Like, can Cleveland control possession here?
02:28That's another big thing.
02:30I don't know, John.
02:31Like, I don't even know which quarterback is more trustworthy.
02:34I can't even say it at this point.
02:35It's sad to say that about Aaron Rodgers, but it's where we're at.
02:40I got to tell you, man, I think that this is absolutely 100%
02:44the Steelers game to lose.
02:45I don't – I think this would be an upset if the Browns won this game,
02:49and I think this would be a huge upset if the Browns won this game.
02:51The Browns have not played well at all this season.
02:54They just happen to play bad teams.
02:56I think that's really the case of how things have played out for the Browns.
03:00The Steelers, if nothing, defensively, where all their money is pretty much spent,
03:04the defense should win this game.
03:06I'm expecting at least a defensive touchdown, if not two in this game,
03:11maybe throw a special teams one in there too,
03:13because I don't think the Cleveland Browns have anything really going for them
03:18positively other than Deshaun Watson found a way to win at the end of that game.
03:23I'm not looking for Deshaun Watson to leave this game with 250 yards passing.
03:27Like, don't.
03:28I don't see it.
03:29I don't see it happening.
03:31And so because of that, I think the Steelers will dominate this game defensively.
03:35I think Deshaun Watson will have trouble moving the ball.
03:37I don't think they'll be able to run the ball.
03:39And therefore, I think the Steelers are really going to make this one hurt on the Browns
03:44on the Thursday night.
03:45I think the Steelers are going to win this game big.
03:48Okay.
03:48I think the Steelers are going to win too.
