NFL Daily DEBATE: Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cleveland Browns Better Record?

We have a hot NFL Debate based on the latest NFL news and rumors. Which team is better: the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Cleveland Browns? We debate who’s the better edge rusher between TJ Watt and Myles Garrett and if Najee Harris is better than Kareem Hunt or Nick Chubb. Chat Sports hosts Tom Downey and Matthew Peterson debate for AFC North supremacy.

Here’s why Tom thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers are better than the Cleveland Browns:
- Steelers defensive line is better than the Browns with players like Cameron Heyward and Larry Ogunjobi who they signed in NFL free agency
- Steelers defense had better expected points added in 2021
- Quarterback isn’t suspended/horrible person like Deshaun Watson who’s suspended for 11 games this season and the Browns starting QB will be Jacoby Brissett
- Promising young quarterback in 2022 NFL draft pick Kenny Pickett out of the University of Pittsburgh
- More investment in the Steelers offensive-line with NFL free agent signings James Daniels and Mason Cole along with an extension for Chukwuma Okorafor
- Vastly better playmakers on offense like 2022 NFL draft pick George Pickens, Chase Claypool, Najee Harris and star wide receiver Diontae Johnson who recently got a contract extension putting him just outside the top ten highest paid NFL wide receivers
- Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is better than Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski and the addition of Brian Flores strengthens the Steelers coaching staff
- Steelers haven’t had a below .500 record under Mike Tomlin’s tenure in Pittsburgh

Here’s why Matthew thinks the Cleveland Browns will be better than the Steelers:
- Myles Garrett is just as good as T.J. Watt and the Browns defense is better overall than the Steelers defense
- Steelers rushing stats for the 2021 season had the Steelers in the bottom 5 of rushing in the NFL even though Najee Harris was top 5 in rushing for the 2021 NFL season
- Browns offense improved with additions of Deshaun Watson and Amari Cooper plus the Browns 2021 offense averaged more points per game than the Steelers
- The Cleveland Browns just need to go .500 during the Deshaun Watson suspension and the Browns will contend for an AFC playoff spot
- Mitch Trubisky stinks and the Browns quarterback depth chart is better than the Steelers quarterback depth chart
