NFL Thursday Night Football preview: Suddenly hot Browns with Deshaun Watson take on Steelers

Key Points:

• The Cleveland Browns have rebounded from a 34-10 season-opening loss to win two straight games, improving Deshaun Watson's performance and removing benching speculation ahead of their Week 4 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• Both the Browns and Steelers enter the matchup with 2-1 records, tied atop the AFC North, making this game crucial for division standings and momentum, especially given the Browns' opportunity to take sole possession of first place with a win.
• Running back Quinshon Judkins is a key player for the Browns, as the team ranks near the bottom of the NFL in rushing statistics; Judkins' ability to improve his production is critical for Cleveland's offensive consistency.
• The Steelers come off a strong offensive showing against the Bengals, with Aaron Rodgers passing for 292 yards and Jaylen Warren rushing for 127 yards, and Warren is expected to carry a heavy workload again due to Rico Dowdle's injury.
• Betting markets favor the Steelers by 3 points with a low total of 38.5, reflecting expectations of a defensive battle, though there is some optimism for offensive production, particularly from Cleveland's emerging receivers and Pittsburgh's run game.
