Pregame Week 4: Five Steelers Thoughts Ahead Of The Browns Game

Steelers Depot writer Melanie Friedlander shares five key thoughts ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 4 primetime matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Following an improved offensive showing against Cincinnati, the writer highlights the need for continued execution against a Browns defense playing without Myles Garrett. Friedlander also argues that Pittsburgh does not require a quarterback spy against Deshaun Watson if pass rushers collapse the pocket effectively.

Additional points focus on Pittsburgh's defensive line facing a depleted Cleveland offensive line missing Elgton Jenkins and Teven Jenkins. In the secondary, Jalen Ramsey is expected to play with a fractured wrist, while head coach Mike McCarthy has a chance to overcome Pittsburgh's historical struggles in Thursday Night Football road games.
