5 reasons Cleveland Browns will beat Big Ben for 1st time in Pittsburgh
2. The pass rush is still there
Bad new for the Steelers. The Browns pass rush is still really, really good.
Myles Garrett made a couple plays against the Bucs last week, but he wasn’t heard from too often because of Jameis’ Winston’s ability to unload the ball quickly.
The 2016 first overall pick has seven sacks, which is fourth in the NFL. He had two sacks and two forced fumbles to kick off the season against Pittsburgh.
Emmanuel Ogbah also had his best game as a a pro, adding 1.5 sacks, two pressures and two batted balls.
This may also be a good game for Larry Ogunjobi to get back on track. The second-year veteran was credited with half a sack against Tampa, but he’s been relatively quiet after bursting onto the scene during the first three weeks of the season.
The Pittsburgh game might’ve been his best game of the season. He tallied seven tackles and had a sack of Roethlisberger.
Upfront, Cleveland will have to worry about James Conner, who rushed for 133 yards on Opening Day.
You’ve gotta believe Mike Tomlin saw the tape from the Chargers’ blowout and will try to kick the ball outside with the Browns set on teeing off on Ben Roethlisberger.
