PITTSBURGH, PA - Ready for the rematch?

The Browns beat the Steelers on Nov. 14 in Cleveland in a game that was overshadowed by the two teams brawling in the closing seconds and Browns defensive end Myles Garrett hitting Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph in the head with his own helmet. Garrett has been suspended indefinitely and Rudolph has been benched - at least for this game - in favor of undrafted rookie Duck Hodges.

Can Hodges and starting running back James Conner, who is expected to return after missing time with a shoulder injury, jump-start the Steelers anemic offense? The Steelers' playoff ambitions could be riding on the answer to that question. A Cleveland win would mean the Steelers and Browns would each have 6-6 records, but the Browns would own the tiebreaker by virtue of beating the Steelers twice.
