Pittsburgh’s star wideout has emerged as a top-5 option in the league this season; he churns out catches, yards and TDs with regularity.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63753&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Steelers RB Le’Veon Bell is also a true weapon for their offense. He has diversified his game since being a power back at Michigan State and his pass-catching is especially adept. He’s someone the Cleveland defense must game-plan for.<\/p>\n The Browns have been experiencing moderate success without star WR Josh Gordon and athletic TE Jordan Cameron being slowed with a nagging shoulder ailment.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n It speaks to the moxie that Hoyer has showcased to date, playing for his hometown team.<\/p>\n So far, there hasn’t been much cause to get publicized draft pick Johnny Manziel on the field. The Browns can keep the explosive Big Ben-to-Brown combo off the field by running the ball and controlling the clock. Cleveland is currently ranked fourth in the league in rush yards, with 144 per game.<\/p>\n The combination of Terrance West and Ben Tate have been a strong running duo for the home side. The Browns have done a good job weathering the storm with a myriad of injuries, including to franchise CB Joe Haden.<\/p>\n There’s nothing Cleveland fans like better than beating Pittsburgh, so the Dawg Pound will be “ravenous” for a win (pardon the bad pun).<\/p>\n If Haden cannot go, it will be especially difficult to contain Brown. The Steelers don’t pose too much of a threat with secondary options like Markus Wheaton and Heath Miller, but Brown and Bell are dangerous targets.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63752&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n * Over is 6-2 in PIT last 8 games on grass. If Cleveland can limit the damage incurred to even just one of these players rather than both, the Browns have a good chance of grabbing a home win on the shores of Lake Erie.<\/p>\n\n
