Welcome to the terrible take, a daily segment telling steel

nation what's on our mind. I'm Alex Kazora.

I know it's week too, at least the last game of it. There's 15 more contests to be played. No one's season is defined by

what happened and happens this weekend. But let's set the table for what's on

tap tonight. The Steelers are O and 1, lose to Cleveland and they'll fall to O and 2. There's my expert analysis and O and 1 in the division.

The Browns meanwhile would move to 2 and 2

and 2 and 0 in the AFC north after knocking off the Bangles last weekend.

They would take early control of the north a step ahead of the undefeated Ravens who dropped Cincinnati yesterday.

Yet again, it would be the Steelers digging themselves out of a hole.

And a close loss is a hard moral victory to swallow.

It's not on the table of acceptable, even if it would be, I suppose, slightly encouraging.

A win tonight means so much in so many ways to slow the Browns roll to stop the sky from falling in Pittsburgh and heck.

The Steelers would be the first team in a while to win a week after playing the 49ers.

Being one-in-one does not mean the season is directly and completely back on track in Pittsburgh

and Cruz.

It just brings a sense of calm. It's easy, it's rational, it's expected not to panic after a week one loss. Half the league rose that boat. But, oh and two, you can't sweep that under the rug and call it a fluke, so a

win tonight does as much for your psyche as it does for your record.
