Each game that the Steelers take the field, it’s about winning and not losing. That doesn’t always occur, but with the goal always being the playoffs... the other games become about seeding and matchups. Even though it’s not the Black & Gold playing due to the bye, other contests still matter to Steelers Nation and we assume the Steelers will start winning more for the sake of this exercise. Here’s a guide to other significant matchups, and whose losses the Steelers would benefit from more.

WEEK 7
Denver Broncos at Cleveland Browns - Thursday 8:20 PM -(FOX/NFLN/AMAZON)
The Browns are absolutely depleted this week, but even without Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt and a list that goes on and on like Uncle Leo talking about Cousin Jeffrey’s accomplishments in the Park’s Department… you can still never count these dogs out.
