For the second time in three weeks, the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers will square off in an AFC North matchup in Week 14. If the Steelers don't want to start losing their hold on the top spot in the AFC North, they can't afford to lose again after their loss to the same side in Week 12.
Cleveland will want to play spoilers once again, but Pittsburgh will undoubtedly want to exact revenge this time at Acrisure Stadium.
