Steelers vs. Browns: Rivals battle in Week 8 with first place in AFC North on the line

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are set for a pivotal AFC North clash this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, with both franchises holding identical 5-2 records.

Cleveland currently holds the division lead due to their previous victory over Pittsburgh in Week 4, a game decided by a late 56-yard field goal. Since that loss, Pittsburgh has secured three consecutive wins, including a recent international victory against the Saints in Paris.

The upcoming matchup at Acrisure Stadium features the Steelers as 3.5-point favorites with an over/under set at 39.5 points. During their last meeting, Aaron Rodgers threw for 299 yards and three touchdowns for Pittsburgh, while Deshaun Watson led the Cleveland offense to a 27-24 win.

Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf were key contributors for the Steelers, while Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion paced the Browns' passing attack.
