The Pittsburgh Steelers clash on Thursday Night Football with AFC North rival the Cleveland Browns. With an infamous clash of quarterbacks, both teams look to progress to a 3-1 record.
In Week 3, the Steelers saw arguably the best game of 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers under center. Rodgers torched the Cincinnati Bengals completing 19/34 passes for 292 yards, three touchdowns, one interception (though not his fault), and a passer rating of 101.6.
As for the Browns, they also have seen a revamped version of Deshaun Watson. In Week 3, Watson was not brilliant by any stretch, but was effective enough to beat a tough Carolina Panthers team. Watson completed 16/30 for 144 yards, two touchdowns, and no picks for an 88.8 passer rating.

- Will Howard (Emergency QB3)
- Drew Allar (Inactive)
