The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense will face off against the Cleveland Browns as six-point home favorites on Sunday night in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.

James Conner A Low-End RB1 In Wild-Card Game

Browns Defense Not A Strong Fantasy Option

The Cleveland Browns Defense will hit the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.
