Dawgs By Nature
The Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers square off in a Week 17 matchup that matters a ton for the AFC North, with the Baltimore Ravens rooting for the home team, DE Myles Garrett pursuing the single-season sack record, and QB Shedeur Sanders trying to solidify his place on the Browns next year.
Injuries have been an important story all week, which led to Cleveland elevating QB Bailey Zappe for Sunday’s matchup with Pittsburgh. A Sanders injury could lead to yet another quarterback change for the Browns this season.
The weather was a concern going into the game, particularly rain, but the forecast is calling for things to clear off a bit by kickoff. As Ohioans know, the forecast can change rapidly, especially so close to Lake Erie.
