The Pittsburgh Steelers escaped Detroit with a 29-24 win over the Lions on Sunday afternoon to guarantee yet another season over .500 for Mike Tomlin. That was Pittsburgh’s third straight win after dropping its previous two contests.

On the other hand, the Cleveland Browns have lost four straight games and seven of their last eight to drop to 3-12 on the season.

Can Myles Garrett and the Browns slow down the Steelers?

Steelers vs. Browns Key Player to Watch

Myles Garrett, Defensive End, Cleveland Browns

Myles Garrett is just half a sack away from tying the NFL record with two games to go, so he needs just one sack of Aaron Rodgers on Sunday afternoon to break the record.

The pass rusher leads the NFL with 22 sacks, which is seven more than Brian Burns’ 15 in second place. In fact, Garrett has more sacks than the San Francisco 49ers do as a team (16).

Pittsburgh allows 1.7 sacks per game, including 2.1 on the road. Look for Garrett to break the record on Sunday against the Steelers.

Steelers vs. Browns Prediction and Pick

Quinshon Judkins has been the one offensive bright spot for the Browns, and he’s now out with a leg injury. Cleveland isn’t left with much else offensively, and the Steelers defense is more than capable of slowing down the Browns.

Cleveland also has a decent defense itself, which should show up against Pittsburgh at home.

Pittsburgh won the first meeting 23-9 back on October 12, which included just four field goals in the first half. This should be another low-scoring affair, even with the total at at very low 34.5.

Pick: Under 34.5 (-108)
