Bleav in Steelers

"Bleav in Steelers" host Mark Bergin is joined by "The Orange and Brown Report" host Michael Keefe to preview the NFL Week 14 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns.

The Steelers have won 20 straight games in Pittsburgh against the Browns.

The guys discussed why the Browns started Deshaun Watson for as long as they did before his season-ending Achilles injury. Jameis Winston has a 2-3 record as the Browns' starter this season. The guys also talked about why the Browns didn't keep Baker Mayfield a few seasons back.

The Steelers have had offensive success with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

Wide receiver George Pickens has played at a high level, but still commits penalties that cost the Steelers. Bergin wonders whether the Steelers will look to offer him an extension in the offseason or whether they'll let him play out his rookie contract.

The guys also talked about the dominance of Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt as edge rushers. Alex Highsmith is due back for the Steelers after suffering an ankle injury a few weeks back. Highsmith gives the Steelers depth with Watt and Nick Herbig.

Bergin shared how the Steelers will have to try to slow down the Browns' offense led by Winston, Nick Chubb, David Njoku and Jerry Jeudy.

"Bleav in Steelers" host Mark Bergin is joined by "Bleav in Ravens" host Matt Trigger to discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The guys discussed how the Steelers have dominated the recent rivalry, winning seven of the last eight matchups. The Steelers have been Lamar Jackson's kryptonite. Jackson has a 2-4 record against Pittsburgh.

They also talked about Russell Wilson's success in his first three games with the Steelers, and whether the team should offer him a lucrative contract extension in the offseason.

Sunday will mark the first time Diontae Johnson will go against the Steelers, his former team.

The Steelers will be without edge rusher Alex Highsmith due to an ankle injury. They could get Nick Herbig back from a hamstring injury. Newly acquired edge rusher Preston Smith is also expected to get reps.

Meanwhile, Baltimore brings a potent offense but faces challenges on defense, allowing the most passing yards per game in the NFL. Can the Ravens' high-scoring attack overcome the Steelers’ second-half dominance, where they've outscored opponents 135-55?
