The Steelers-Browns live stream game is on and it features two teams in very different situations; at 12-3, the Steelers have already clinched a spot in the playoffs and won the AFC North. For them, it doesn't matter what happens on Sunday.

However, if the 10-5 Browns lose this game, a playoff berth is nearly impossible. With some of Pittsburgh's starters, including quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, sitting out this game, Cleveland has a shot to win this NFL live stream and make the playoffs for the first time since 2002.

Still, oddsmakers currently have Pittsburgh favored by 10 points in this game.

This game features two teams with depleted ranks, but for different reasons. In addition to Roethlisberger, the Steelers will bench linebacker T.J. Watt, defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, and center Maukis Pouncey to rest them for the playoffs.

The Browns are also down at least four players, but for covid exposure. Linebackers B.J. Goodson and Malcolm Smith, safety Andrew Sendejo, and tight end Harrison Bryant were forced to miss the game, possibly further spreading the infection.

Despite its cobid woes, Cleveland may be less affected than Pittsburgh. By benching Rosslisberger, the team gave up most of its scoring potential. In his place, the Steelers will field third-year quarterback Mason Rudolph, whose record has not been very impressive.
