Thursday Night under the lights at Heinz Field...
vs
Things have really changed since the two teams last met. The Browns have continued their up and down slide but the Steelers have now won three of their last four. The Browns still have not won back to back games since the Iron Age.

31 points...did the Browns really score 31 points? The Browns had not scored that many points since the infamous 58-48 loss to Cincinnati back in Week 12 of 2004 (two full years).
Charlie's wrist x-rays were negative but he is questionable for Thursday. It is a very short week so I expect DA to get the start and for Reuben Droughns to share carries again with Jason Wright. I was impressed with the play calling as it was more creative against KC than it has been all season mixing in flea flickers and direct snaps to Josh Cribbs. Bill Cowher likes trick plays and I expect JD to try and throw some tricky plays right back at him.
KWII was almost MIA this past week while Steve Heiden was a stud TE and Braylon was over-shadowed by JJ. I hope Frye or DA finds a way to spread the ball around more.

Browns Defense is doing OK and having Bodden healthy for a second week in a row is a bonus. This might be the healthiest this Defense has been all season.
No doubt the Browns can win this game but as always they find a way to lose against The Chin
