Steelers at Browns

-

TV: Sunday, 1, CBS (Greg Gumbel, Trent Green, Jamie Erdahl)

The matchup: Expectatio­ns are high and the Steelers won’t be satisfied with just a return trip to the AFC title game. RB Le’Veon Bell was injured in that game and didn’t participat­e in camp because of a contract squabble. He’s playing under the franchise tag and remains one of the NFL’s most dynamic players. Bell, QB Ben Roethlisbe­rger and WR Antonio Brown form a trio as good as any around the league, and the passing game should be even more dangerous with the return of WR Martavis Bryant from a year-long suspension. ... The Browns see going 1-15 last season as a painful yet important piece of their rebuilding plan But this year’s team has the No. 1 overall pick, DE Myles Garrett, will miss the game with an ankle injury and rookie QB DeShone Kizer is starting.
