Can you believe the Cleveland Browns are somehow, unbelievably, tied for first in the AFC North heading into Week 4? It’s wild to even say that sentence out loud. Two months ago, everyone was just laughing at their quarterback battle, right? Well, Todd Monken has to be laughing at us all now, because the QB he picked has them sitting pretty at the top of the division.
What’s Happening in Cleveland?
It’s been so long since anyone heard “Browns” and “first place” in the same breath, I’m pretty sure it was before COVID, and honestly, who remembers anything from then? This team hasn’t won a division title since 1989. Do you know who was born in 1989? Taylor Swift. And get this: she once sang the national anthem at a Steelers game, and the Steelers actually lost that day. I’m not sure what to make of that, but it’s a fact! Even if it’s early, seeing the Browns at 2-1 and tied for first is a massive shake-up, making them feel like the most underrated team in the entire NFL right now.
Steelers vs. Browns: An Early AFC North Showdown
This Thursday night, it’s a huge AFC North clash with the Steelers (2-1) rolling into Cleveland to face the Browns (2-1). On paper, you might think the Steelers look like the better squad. But honestly, who even uses paper anymore? That’s not how we’re making picks. This early season matchup is going to be a real test for both these teams.
After the craziness of Week 3, where we saw 12 games decided by one score , tying an NFL record , anything feels possible. Remember how the Eagles got absolutely torched by a third-string quarterback, Case Keenum, on Monday night? Keenum now has more touchdown passes this year (two!) than Drake Maye. It just shows you that nothing is guaranteed in this league. This Steelers-Browns game is set for Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime, and it’s going to tell us a lot about who’s for real in the AFC North.
