If so. I expect sales to drop as year goes on. Drastically. They dont have to purchase coins if they can do this all game. They can farm park and other modes. While others can't even get a chance to win. That will chase away the buyers. And leave you with noting but moders... smh. Nast work. @NBA2K
STEELERS VS. BROWNS — AFC NORTH REMATCH
Two teams. Identical 5-2 records. One division lead up for grabs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns meet again, but this time the circumstances are a little different. Cleveland comes into Pittsburgh looking to prove that its first victory over the Steelers wasn't a fluke. Pittsburgh, meanwhile, has an opportunity to return the favor, defend its home field, and take control of the AFC North.
The Browns currently hold the division's top spot through the tiebreakers, but both teams are sitting at 5-2. A Pittsburgh victory would change that picture considerably.
There's also something worth remembering from the first meeting: Cleveland won 27-24 on October 1. The Steelers had opportunities to take control of that game but couldn't consistently get the job done.
Since then, Pittsburgh has put together three consecutive victories, while Cleveland has won its last two.
This is no longer about figuring out who these teams are. They've already had a chance to see each other. Now it's about adjustments, execution, and which team can impose its style of football.
WHAT CLEVELAND DOES WELL
The Browns are still built around making life difficult for opposing offenses.
Their defensive front remains one of the biggest concerns for Pittsburgh. Cleveland leads the NFL with 46 tackles for loss and ranks sixth with 20 sacks. What's particularly concerning is that the production isn't coming from just one player. Eleven different Browns defenders have recorded at least one sack.
Mason Graham remains a player Pittsburgh needs to account for, with four sacks through seven games. The defensive front has the ability to disrupt plays before they have a chance to develop, and that's exactly what Cleveland wants to accomplish.
But there's another difference worth watching this time around: Cleveland's offense has found more production on the ground.
Quinshon Judkins returned to the lineup and has become an important part of the offense. He has 317 rushing yards on 90 carries, and his ability to give Cleveland a physical running option adds another dimension to what Deshaun Watson can do.
The Browns are coming off a 491-yard offensive performance against Tennessee, winning 27-24. That's a substantial improvement in offensive production, even if the final score suggests another close contest.
Watson is also coming into this matchup with some confidence.
He has thrown for 1,482 yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions through seven games. He's completing 64.8% of his passes.
One of the more interesting numbers is how well he's performed in late-game situations. Watson leads the league in passer rating and completion percentage during the final two minutes of the first and second halves.
That's something Pittsburgh cannot overlook. Cleveland has shown that it can hang around and make plays when the game is on the line.
And then there's Denzel Boston.
Boston has 372 receiving yards and three touchdowns, averaging 18.6 yards per reception. He's also tied for second in the league with three receptions of at least 40 yards.
Pittsburgh has to be aware of the big-play potential. Cleveland doesn't necessarily need to dominate the passing game to hurt you. It just needs a few opportunities to connect downfield.
WHERE PITTSBURGH NEEDS TO MAKE ITS ADJUSTMENTS
The first meeting gave us a pretty good indication of what Pittsburgh cannot afford to repeat.
The Steelers managed only two sacks against Watson, matching the fewest Cleveland has allowed in a game this season. Watson finished with 278 passing yards, and Pittsburgh never consistently made him uncomfortable.
That's where things need to change.
T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig have to find ways to affect the quarterback without allowing Watson to escape the pocket and create plays with his legs.
It's not simply about getting to the quarterback. It's about controlling the pocket, maintaining rushing lanes, and making..👇👇

Watson work through his progressions.
The offensive side of the football has its own set of challenges.
Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 1,699 yards, 13 touchdowns and five interceptions. Those numbers give Pittsburgh a passing attack capable of putting points on the board, but consistency remains an issue.
The Steelers have had stretches where the offense looks productive, followed by possessions where they struggle to finish drives.
Red-zone execution is something I want to see improve.
Pittsburgh has been moving the football, but moving between the 20s and finishing with touchdowns are two different things. You cannot keep settling for field goals against a defense that creates as many negative plays as Cleveland does.
Jaylen Warren needs to be a major part of the answer.
Warren has accumulated 561 rushing yards on 102 carries, averaging 5.5 yards per attempt. He's also fourth in the NFL in yards from scrimmage with 855.
That's the type of production Pittsburgh needs to continue using.
The Browns have a disruptive defensive front, but Pittsburgh cannot allow that to dictate every offensive possession. Establishing Warren, using play action, and finding ways to get the ball out of Rodgers' hands before the pressure arrives will be important.
The Steelers need to make Cleveland defend the entire field.
Not just the passing game. Not just the run. Both.
THE DEFENSIVE MATCHUP COULD DECIDE THIS GAME
There's another side to this matchup that I think deserves more attention.
Pittsburgh's defense has been improving, particularly against the run.
Last week against New Orleans, the Steelers surrendered just 18 rushing yards. That's the second-lowest rushing total allowed by any NFL team in a game this season.
Now they get a Cleveland offense that has started to find more balance with Judkins.
That makes this a very important matchup.
If Pittsburgh can take away the running game early, it can force Watson into more obvious passing situations. That's when the Steelers need their pass rush to make its presence felt.
Cleveland also has some questions along the offensive line. Tackle Tytus Howard is questionable with a concussion, and guard Teven Jenkins is on injured reserve.
Pittsburgh has to take advantage of those circumstances.
The defensive front has dealt with injuries of its own, including Derrick Harmon and Sebastian Joseph-Day being on injured reserve. Rookie defensive linemen Gabriel Rubio and Kevin Jobity Jr. have been asked to take on additional responsibility.
Their contributions matter because Pittsburgh needs more than just its established pass rushers to win this battle.
This is where the depth of the defensive line will be tested.
THE SECONDARY AND AVAILABILITY
Pittsburgh is also dealing with some personnel concerns in the secondary.
Brandin Echols and Doneiko Slaughter have both been ruled out with hamstring injuries. Ben Skowronek is questionable with a calf injury.
On the positive side, DeShon Elliott returned to action against New Orleans after missing most of the previous season. His communication, physicality, and ability to help disguise coverages give the defense another important piece.
Jaquan Brisker has also continued to provide steady play and communication.
Against a Cleveland offense that has a legitimate deep-ball threat in Boston, Pittsburgh needs everyone on the same page.
Missed assignments and blown coverage could be the difference in a game where both teams are capable of making things difficult offensively.
The Steelers cannot afford to give Cleveland easy explosive plays.
WHAT I EXPECT THIS TIME AROUND
I expect another physical AFC North game, and I wouldn't be surprised if this one comes down to the fourth quarter.
The first meeting showed us that Cleveland can pressure Rodgers and make Pittsburgh uncomfortable. It also showed us that Watson can take advantage when the Steelers fail to contain him.....👇👇👇👇👇👇
But there are differences this time.
Pittsburgh has won three straight. The game is at Acrisure Stadium. The Steelers are playing with more momentum, and they've had another month to identify what went wrong in Cleveland.
The Browns, however, are coming off a strong offensive performance and have continued finding ways to win close games.
I don't think Pittsburgh needs to completely change its approach. It needs to execute the things that were missing the first time around.
Control the line of scrimmage.
Get Warren involved early.
Protect Rodgers and improve the red-zone production.
Make Watson uncomfortable without opening up running lanes.
Keep Boston from getting behind the secondary.
And don't let Cleveland turn another close game into a fourth-quarter opportunity.
One other number worth remembering: Pittsburgh has won 24 of its last 25 regular-season home games against Cleveland since Acrisure Stadium opened in 2001.
That history doesn't win today's game, but it certainly makes this a different environment for the Browns than the first meeting.
The Steelers have an opportunity to answer a division loss, extend their winning streak to four, and head into the bye with the AFC North in a much better position.
This is the kind of game where good teams separate themselves from teams that are simply finding ways to win.
Cleveland already got the first one.
Now it's Pittsburgh's turn to respond.
Same division. Same record. Different field. Different circumstances.
First place is there for the taking.
Let's see what the Steelers do with it.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints — Week 7 Preview
The Pittsburgh Steelers head to Paris to take on the New Orleans Saints in a matchup that Pittsburgh needs to approach with the right mindset. At 4-2, the Steelers have put themselves in a good position, but this is the kind of game where you can't afford to overlook an opponent simply because their record says 2-4.
The Saints have playmakers who can make you pay for mistakes, and Pittsburgh has to show up ready to play four quarters of football. Coming off the overtime comeback against Tampa Bay, the Steelers have to find a way to carry that fight into this game without putting themselves in another situation where they need a late rally to get the job done.
THE SAINTS OFFENSE — WHO TO WATCH
The first name that jumps out is Chris Olave. He's the Saints' primary receiving threat, and Pittsburgh can't let him dictate the game. Olave has the ability to separate downfield, win contested catches, and turn a routine pass into a big play. If the Steelers give him too much room or allow him to get behind the secondary, he has the potential to make this a long day for the defense.
Then there's Tyler Shough, who has been putting up production and giving New Orleans a reason to believe its passing game can compete. He's accounted for 12 passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns, so Pittsburgh can't treat him as a quarterback who is only dangerous when he throws the football. The Steelers need to make him uncomfortable, pressure him into difficult decisions, and keep him from extending plays with his legs.
Alvin Kamara is another player to watch, provided his health allows him to handle his usual workload. He can hurt a defense in the running game and as a receiver out of the backfield. Kendre Miller also gives New Orleans a rushing option capable of making Pittsburgh pay if the defense gets too focused on the passing attack. The Steelers need to tackle well, win at the line of scrimmage, and avoid giving the Saints easy yards on early downs.
Don't forget Juwan Johnson, either. The tight end gives Shough another target, especially in the middle of the field and around the goal line. If Pittsburgh sends extra attention toward Olave, Johnson could be the player who takes advantage of the space that opens up.
THE STEELERS DEFENSE — SET THE TONE
For Pittsburgh, this game starts with making the Saints earn everything. T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith need to create pressure, while the coverage behind them has to hold up long enough for that pressure to matter. The goal isn't just to chase sacks. It's to force Shough off his preferred reads, limit his ability to extend plays, and make New Orleans drive the length of the field.
The Steelers also need to be disciplined against the run. If Kamara and Miller find room early, New Orleans can keep the offense balanced and make Pittsburgh defend the entire playbook. That puts more stress on the secondary and gives Shough better opportunities to take shots downfield.
This is a game where tackling, communication, and avoiding blown assignments matter just as much as making the highlight-reel play. Pittsburgh has the defensive talent to make life difficult for New Orleans, but it has to execute.
THE STEELERS OFFENSE — TAKE CONTROL
On the other side of the ball, Aaron Rodgers and the offense need to establish a rhythm early. Pittsburgh cannot afford to let the Saints hang around because of stalled drives, penalties, or turnovers. The offensive line has to give Rodgers time, especially with Chase Young coming off the edge. Young has recorded 5.5 sacks, making him a defender Pittsburgh needs to account for throughout the game.
The running game will be important, too. Pittsburgh needs to stay out of obvious passing situations and make the Saints respect the possibility of a run. Jaylen Warren's ability to contribute on the ground and in the passing game can help keep the offense moving, while the Steelers' receiving options need to...
take advantage of their matchups.
DK Metcalf is an important piece of that equation. His ability to win downfield and make contested catches gives Rodgers a target who can change a drive with one play. Pittsburgh needs to find ways to get him involved without becoming predictable. The more balanced the offense is, the harder it becomes for New Orleans to pin its ears back and attack the quarterback.
The biggest thing for Pittsburgh is finishing drives. Moving the ball between the 20s is one thing; turning those opportunities into touchdowns is another. Against a team that has dangerous offensive pieces of its own, field goals alone may not be enough to create separation.
WHAT COULD DECIDE THIS GAME?
For me, three things stand out.
First, Pittsburgh has to win the turnover battle. The Steelers cannot hand the Saints short fields or give away possessions through careless mistakes.
Second, the defense must contain Olave and keep Shough from getting comfortable. If New Orleans can produce explosive passes and sustain drives on the ground, it can make this game much closer than Pittsburgh wants.
Third, the Steelers' offense has to be consistent. Protect Rodgers, establish the run, and finish in the red zone. Don't let a winnable game turn into another fourth-quarter scramble.
MY TAKE
Pittsburgh has the talent to win this game, but talent alone doesn't guarantee anything in the NFL. The Saints are 2-4, but they have enough playmakers to take advantage if the Steelers come out flat or start making mistakes.
I want to see Pittsburgh play with urgency from the opening kickoff. Make the Saints work for every yard, protect the football, and put points on the board when the opportunities are there. The Steelers don't need to make this complicated. They need to be physical, disciplined, and consistent.
This is a game Pittsburgh should be aiming to control rather than simply survive. Get ahead, make New Orleans chase the game, and force the Saints to prove they can keep up for four quarters.
HERE WE GO, STEELERS!
