### Steelers Face Uphill Battle in Upcoming Game Against Browns

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off a strong victory against the Baltimore Ravens, improving their record to 8-2. However, as they prepare to face the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football, the odds are stacked against them despite their superior form.

Recent history indicates that Cleveland has not been a kind destination for the Steelers. Since 2017, Pittsburgh holds a shaky 2-4-1 record when playing in Cleveland. Adding to the challenge, the short turnaround after the grueling win over their AFC North rivals, the Ravens, poses a major obstacle.

Alan Saunders from Steelers Now highlighted a troubling statistic: Pittsburgh has never won a road divisional game on Thursday Night Football. Under head coach Mike Tomlin, their record stands at 0-5 in such scenarios and a discouraging 2-8 in road Thursday night games overall.

The last encounter between these two teams at FirstEnergy Stadium in Week 3 of the 2022 season ended poorly for the Steelers, with Cleveland securing a 29-17 victory. Although the Steelers’ offense has seen improvements since that matchup, doubts still linger about their ability to triumph in this challenging setting.

Despite a five-game winning streak showcasing the team's strengths on both offense and defense, the history and situational factors suggest this could be a tough game for Pittsburgh to win. The Steelers' struggle in Thursday night road games, especially within their division, may very well continue.
