The Cleveland Browns face the Pittsburgh Steelers for their AFC North opener. Both teams have undergone coaching changes, with Mike McCarthy now leading the Steelers. Pittsburgh returns a similar roster that made last year’s postseason but remains uncertain regarding its potential. The Steelers are currently 2-1, but their recent wins lack strong performances. The defense may improve under new coordinator Patrick Graham, with T.J. Watt's mobility and the addition of veterans like Jalen Ramsey being key points of interest. The matchup is set for Thursday night.
