Winner Of Steelers-Browns Will Come Down To ‘Whoever Has The Best Defense, Heyward Says, And ‘Our Defense Is Up For The Challenge’

Even without QB Deshaun Watson in the fold, the Pittsburgh Steelers will still have their hands full with the Cleveland Browns offense. They have found a way to continue to have success on the ground even without their All-Pro running back, Nick Chubb, who suffered a serious injury in the first meeting between the two teams.

And the Steelers’ run defense has not been great, ranking 25th in yards allowed and 26th in yards per carry allowed. They do rank just outside the top 10 in points allowed, however, and first in takeaways, which has been the key to their 6-3 record.
