Pittsburgh Steelers MELTDOWN in MASSIVE WIN for Cleveland Browns & CRITICAL Divisional Showdowns
Locked On NFL – Daily Podcast On The National Football LeagueShow Notes
The Pittsburgh Steelers were emotional in their close loss to the Cleveland Browns that came down to the buzzer. Aaron Rodgers and TJ Watt both were acting out during the game and the Steelers feel like a disconnected team with no identity. Deshaun Watson started strong and tailed off, but did enough to get the Browns to 3-1 on the season. There is a massive divisional matchup in the AFC West with the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders. This will be all about the Raiders defense and their turnover trend. There are also some must-win games around the league with teams seeing their playoff hopes fade. The Houston Texans are one of those teams and if they don't beat the Dallas Cowboys, 0-4 will truly be the end.
