The Browns are going into their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers undermanned and banged up but they can still win if they do these three things.

The Cleveland Browns have a huge task this week; defeat the AFC North boogeymen. At least the boogeymen of the Browns faithful, aka, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers have dominated the AFC North and the rivalry with the Browns to the point that many younger fans aren’t aware of how dastardly those Steelers really are and why this was once the best feud in sports. Celtics and Lakers can sit down.

Now with both teams at four wins through the first five weeks of the season, the rivalry is about to be reignited for real. Sparks flew last year when Myles Garrett clubbed Mason Rudolph with Rudolph’s own helmet in a moment that has stained Garrett’s career forever. That moment just generated controversy, however. It did not reignite the rivalry.

No, instead that moment may come as early Sunday as two of the best teams in the AFC square off for standing in the AFC North. The Browns will go into the game a bit undermanned, however. With injuries galore all over the team, the Browns are going to have to figure out ways to circumventing some of their biggest lost players and getting clever with moving the offense. The injuries aren’t just on the offensive end either, as a bad defense was made worse with several key figures being out for some time.

So what are the three keys to victory against the Steelers? Let’s find out.
