The Cleveland Browns are set to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in NFL Week 17 action. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Johnny Manziel Puts Up a Great Performance Against a Tough Defense
Looking ahead at the future, the Browns are interested to see whether Johnny Manziel fits in as a long-term quarterback option. He has put up a few big performances this season and has shown that he can be a starter, although to start this week he will have to clear concussion protocol. Whether or not he can take control of the long-term starting job to end the season is another question, but he will put up a great performance this week against the Steelers.
2. Antonio Brown Shreds Through the Defense for 120 Yards, Two TD's
Antonio Brown has been arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL this season and is without question one of the best playmakers in the league. He is going to show off his playmaking ability this week against the Browns' defense. Brown will shred through the defense for at least 120 yards and two touchdowns and could do more damage than that.
3. Isaiah Crowell Continues His Recent Tear
Cleveland has been searching for a rushing game this week and they may very well have their man. Isaiah Crowell has been dominant over the last couple of weeks and will continue putting up big numbers this week. He is extremely fast and has big play potential every time he touches the football and that will show against the Steelers.
4. Pittsburgh's Defense Comes Through with at Least Five Sacks
One thing that the Steelers' defense is more than capable of doing is putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks. They are going to do everything they can to rattle Manziel and put as many hits on him as they possible can. Because of that, we are going to go out on a limb and predict that the Steelers' defense comes through with at least five sacks throughout the game.
5. Cleveland Pulls Off a Major Upset Win Over Pittsburgh
While the Steelers are widely viewed as the favorites to win this game, upsets have happened all season long. Cleveland is going to come in being taken lightly and will come out with a win. It isn't going to be easy, but the Steelers still have holes that will show in a big way this coming week.
