Steelers (6-6) at Browns (1-11)
• When: 7:20 p.m.
• TV: NFL Network
• Line: Steelers by 10
• Key stat: The Browns have lost a franchise-record 10 straight home games.
• Lowdown: It seems odd that the two perceived AFC powers, the Steelers and Titans, that gave us that tight, bruising season opener have been such a mystery. Now, the Steelers have to outlast at least four (maybe more) teams to get a wild card. They have failed to hold a fourth-quarter lead in five of their six losses. If some of Sunday’s loss to the Raiders was fallout from Ben Roethlisberger being held out of an earlier game for his own safety, that’s a shame. Let’s see if the defending champs have any pulse against the injury-plagued Browns.
• Prediction: Steelers 24-20
