Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) at Cleveland Browns (2-2)

Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, at FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland – TV: CBS

*TV announcers: Greg Gumbel, Trent Green, Evan Washburn

*Keys to the game: The Steelers rank fourth in the NFL in total offense but only 18th in scoring because they have managed touchdowns on only 42.9 percent of their red-zone possessions. Pittsburgh should have little trouble moving the ball against a defense allowing an NFL-high 7.3 yards on first downs. Browns RB Le’Veon Bell rushed for 109 yards on 21 carries in the first meeting, a 30-27 Steelers victory in Pittsburgh to start the season, and Cleveland enters allowing 5.1 yards per carry.

The Browns rushed for 191 yards in the opener and the offensive line is starting to hum in the zone-blocking scheme. They also had success keeping Pittsburgh’s defense on its heels with a no-huddle that enabled Cleveland to battle back from a 27-3 hole. Expect coordinator Kyle Shanahan to stay committed to the ground game after calling 36 running plays last week, including 25 after Cleveland fell behind by 25 points.

*Matchup to watch – Steelers WR Markus Wheaton vs. Browns CB Joe Haden: Wheaton caught six passes for 97 yards in the opener against the Browns, and has 14 catches for 147 yards in the past four games. Haden has been targeted by opposing offenses all season and is dealing with a hip injury that kept him out midweek.

*Player spotlight – Browns PR Jordan Poyer: Poyer replaces Travis Benjamin, who muffed a punt last week after making a poor decision to let a ball sail over his head the previous game.

*Fast facts: The Steelers are 25-5 against the Browns since Cleveland returned to the NFL in 1999. … Hoyer spent two weeks on the Steelers’ practice squad in 2012 before being released. … Roethlisberger, a Finlay, Ohio native, is 18-1 in his career against the Browns.

WHO WILL WIN AND WHY

All four of the Browns’ games have been decided by three points or less, and this shapes up as another heart-stopper for coach Mike Pettine. Cleveland’s ground game controls the tempo while also cashing in more drives for touchdowns – a potentially fatal flaw of Pittsburgh’s offense.

*Our pick: Browns 27-23
