Five reasons the Cleveland Browns will defeat Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time at Heinz Field.

The Cleveland Browns have a lot to prove against the Pittsburgh Steelers following their Week 1 tie, which really felt like a loss.

The Browns squandered numerous opportunities in that contest, however, a lot of changes have come since these two squads first met up.

And while the Browns boast some new, exciting faces, the results have mostly been the same.

Yes, the Browns have actually won twice since tying the Steelers, but those beloved orange helmets have also found ways to break our hearts in ways they only can.

This is a huge game for the Browns because despite dropping two in a row, a win against the Steelers puts the Browns at 2-0-1 in the division. Believe it or not, they’d be right back in this thing.

A Steelers (3-2-1) loss would put Cleveland (2-4-1) just a 1/2 game behind their AFC North rival.

Really, the big deal here would be that a Browns win means that Cleveland would be the only team in the AFC North that hasn’t lost inside the Division.

The Ravens beat the Steelers. The Steelers beat the Bengals. The Browns beat the Ravens.

There’s plenty of bad history to erase, as is always the case when the Browns play lately.

A win gives Cleveland its first season series win over the Steelers since 1989.

And of course, there’s that ghost the Browns are chasing of winning their first road game since the 2015 season.

Here’s why the Browns will do the improbable and get it done.
