Two Wild Streaks for Monday Night, One of which has to be Broken

Two intriguing streaks centered around the Steelers are on a collision course for Monday night against the Browns.

The Cleveland Browns will practice today for the last time ahead of their primetime matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. I stumbled upon two interesting stats while doing research ahead of the game that are hard to believe. 

The first being that the Steelers have won 20 straight games at home on Monday Night Football. 

You have to go all the way back to October 14th, 1991, in a loss to the New York Giants in a Monday night game played at Three Rivers Stadium. Chuck Knoll was still the head coach and both Neil O'Donnell and Bubby Brister played quarterback.

Teams who have played against the 49ers in the previous week have lost 16 games in a row when playing the week after.

The Steelers have this curse hanging over them this week after losing to San Francisco 30-7 in a beatdown. This stat is incredible, and I think speaks to just how physical the 49ers play football. The Steelers will be without two of their top players after Cam Heyward injured his groin and Diontae Johnson injured his hamstring.

Several others are listed on their injury report and have been limited in practice this week. This will be something to keep in mind as the Browns will play San Francisco in week 6 at home and travel to Indianapolis the week after in week 7.

One of these streaks will have to be broken on Monday night as they can't coexist any longer. The Browns will hope to break the win streak at home for their division rivals.
