Might be flurries but it doesn’t look like a major snow event.

They need to come out and punch Cleveland in the mouth.

Here is the weather.com forecast:

Windy with periods of rain and snow in the evening. Then mainly rain later at night. Low 38F. Winds WNW at 25 to 35 mph. Chance of precip 90%. Higher wind gusts possible.

The wind is going to be the issue, not the precipitation.

Elements equalizes which helps the weaker team. Bad news.

Browns haven't been lighting it up in the running game, or passing game, and have gotten beaten soundly a few times this season.

Coach Mike better not be playing down to their putrid record.

Benton will be the key this week again, looks like he's playing.

Hmm Garrett didn't practice.

You sure bout that? I was thinking we might want to tip toe and ease on into the game.

:D
The Steelers are among the NFL’s worst teams in total offense (30th) and total defense (28th). Highest paid defense in the league by far. We are lucky to have Mike Tomlin.

Bad weather does a couple of things:

- Slows down the pass rush
- Makes it easier for WR's to be open. Note that throwing the ball to those open WRs and catching it are the inverse though

Apparently Tomlin is well aware of his piss poor TNF record so I expect them to be flying.

What if the rain/wind actually makes Winston a more accurate passer :o

I think weather should mean more Fields.

Good teams beat bad teams.

Even in the weather.

But Tomlin being Tomlin, who knows what we'll get? But at least the players seemed to know that they had a Thursday night game on Sunday.

I have confidence that Boswell can hit FGs in the rain. We're good
