From the episode

if they continue to stop the run, I mean, it's going to put more on Deshaun Watson's plate in a single game than I think they've had to do at any point in time this season.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Steelers' elite run D forces Watson to carry heavier passing load than usual.

The Steelers' elite run defense (39.4% success rate allowed, 0.8 yards before contact per attempt, 48.2% hit rate at line—2nd only to Kansas City) will force the Browns to rely heavily on Watson's passing game. The source expects a low-scoring, defensive slugfest that will put more on Watson's plate in a single game than the Browns have asked of him all season, suggesting increased pressure and fewer easy scoring opportunities.
