When the Steelers (11-4) travel to Cleveland to square off against the Browns (5-10), their playoff seeding will largely be at stake. If Pittsburgh loses and the Ravens defeat the Bengals, Baltimore will be the second seed for the AFC playoff bracket; if the Jets defeat the Bills, the Steelers could ultimately be the sixth seed because New York owns the tiebreaker against them.
Cleveland ended last season on a four-game winning streak, but it is doing an about-face this year as a loss would send the Browns to four in a row to close out their 2010 season. With a banged-up Peyton Hillis, who missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, the Browns' chances of defeating Pittsburgh for the second time in a row at Cleveland Browns Stadium do not look good.
But the "Dawg Pound" will be biting and barking loudly for their Browns and the energy from the crowd may be enough to get them rolling one more time.
