10 Minute Takes: Week 13 Is About Way More Than a Quarterback Change

The Cleveland Browns head to Heinz Field in a game with the Pittsburgh Steelers that means more than Duck Hodges starting at quarterback.

10 Minute Takes - part of the Three Rivers Podcast collection - brings you today's news and analysis in, you guessed it, ten minutes. Go inside today's biggest Pittsburgh Steelers news and breakdowns with host, Noah Strackbein. New episodes twice a week.

Week 13 Is About Way More Than a Quarterback Change

The Steelers' season is on the line once again against the Cleveland Browns. As both teams enter Heinz Field on Sunday, their 6-5 records will compete for the upper hand in the AFC playoff race. With five games remaining, the winner will likely have the rest of their season much in their own control. 

The loser? They'll be fighting from the ground up, praying for a miracle to land them in the postseason. 

On top of Duck Hodges starting, James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster out, again, and Baker Mayfield turning into the quarterback he should've been from Week 1, Week 13's AFC North showdown has plenty circulating through it.
