Cleveland hosts Pittsburgh in a Week 4 AFC North matchup that will put the winner at 3–1 and temporarily atop the division. CBS Sports predicts a 20–14 Steelers victory.

Pittsburgh’s offence produced 411 yards against Cincinnati in Week 3, after combining for 499 across its first two games, according to the preview. Jaylen Warren accounted for 176 yards from 20 touches in that latest outing.

The preview also points to Deshaun Watson’s five touchdowns and one interception this season as a factor for Cleveland. The Browns have won their past two games with late touchdown passes, while Pittsburgh’s defence has forced two turnovers in each of its past two games, CBS Sports reports.

CBS Sports says Pittsburgh will be without Joey Porter Jr., who it reports was traded to Dallas, while Jalen Ramsey is listed as questionable with a wrist injury. The outlet argues pressure on Watson could shape the game and backs Pittsburgh to edge the matchup.
