Pittsburgh Review

The Pittsburgh Steelers are preparing for a quick turnaround following their recent game against the Baltimore Ravens. The team faces another physical matchup on Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Stadium. Linebacker T.J. Watt commented on the demanding schedule, stating, "It's tough on the body. But it's one of those things where it's who can recover as quickly as possible."

Despite their opponents' record, Watt emphasized that the Steelers will not underestimate the Browns, saying, "That's the special thing about this group is you don't really have to (tell guys not to overlook an opponent)." The Steelers currently lead the AFC North with an 8-2 record, while the Browns stand at 2-8.

Defensive tackle Cameron Heyward noted the challenges of preparing for a Thursday night game after a physical Sunday match. He remarked on his readiness despite soreness: "Prep is sped up, body is a little bit more sore," but added that both teams face similar conditions.

The upcoming game features Jameis Winston as quarterback for the Browns due to Deshaun Watson's injury status. Heyward acknowledged Winston's capabilities: "I think Jamei is a gunslinger... He's going to take chances." Cornerbacks Joey Porter Jr. and Donte Jackson echoed this sentiment, emphasizing preparation and execution against Winston's play style.

Patrick Queen expressed fatigue from back-to-back AFC North games in such a short span but remained focused on performance: "This game is going to come down to whoever is more physical."

The Steelers secondary anticipates testing by Winston's aggressive play style, with Porter Jr. stating they must be ready "to make plays and fly around."
