The Steelers' playoff hopes are still (barely) alive as they enter MNF against the Browns. Here are 3 player-vs-player matchups that could decide tonight's game. FrontOffice33 | Browns | HereWeGo
Monday night's primetime showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns lost a bit of its jam when the Browns were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday afternoon. The Steelers, however, are still alive in their quest to earn an unlikely playoff berth, and a victory over the Browns on Monday would keep them mathematically in contention heading into Week 18's finale against their fellow AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens.
Garrett remains the most feared pass rusher in all of football despite currently trailing T.J. Watt and Robert Quinn for the league-lead in quarterback takedowns. Garrett will be licking his chops while favoring his chances to add to his astounding sack totals when he lines up across from Steelers left tackle Dan Moore Jr.
Pittsburgh's passing game has struggled in all facets, from the aging and less-effective Roethlisberger to an offensive line that's struggled to give Roethlisberger the time often necessary to chuck the ball up to his receiving threats. Claypool has undoubtedly been hindered by the less-than-ideal environment around him but has found a way to remain productive in a below-average offense.
Part of Pittsburgh's offensive game plans to navigate through their struggles in search of solutions has often included handing the ball to Harris as often as possible. The first-round selection has handled 335 touches in 15 appearances, which equates to more than 22 touches per game. It's the type of workload you'd typically find a seasoned vet handling as opposed to a 23-year-old rookie.
