5 Best NFL games to watch on Sunday in Week 6
By Lucas Schuh
3. Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
After seeing just one team finish over .500 in the AFC North last season (Baltimore Ravens), the division is on pace to have three teams over that mark in the 2020 season. Two of those teams, the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, will now square off in Week 6.
While the Browns may have fallen well short of expectations last season, they’ve started to turn things around this year under new head coach Kevin Stefanski. Even with Nick Chubb injured, Stefanski and a revamped offensive line have been moving the ball quite well and utilizing the litany of playmakers on the Cleveland offense. If Baker Mayfield can continue to gain confidence and his rookie form, they could be a scary team.
As for the Steelers, the story in Pittsburgh amid their undefeated start to the season has been a dominant defense. The Steelers ranked third in Defensive DVOA, per Football Outsiders, last season and have picked up where they left off, ranking seventh through their first four games this year.
There are several key contributors on the Steelers defense but T.J. Watt has been the best of the bunch. He’s been a dominant pass-rusher after being a Defensive Player of the Year candidate last year, now looking to actually capture the award in 2020.
Playoff seeding is undoubtedly in-play for this game. Throw in some bad blood after the Myles Garrett brawl last year and the Browns vs. Steelers matchup should be high entertainment on Sunday.
