Can Pittsburgh build on its offensive breakthrough?

The Steelers finally found some rhythm against Cincinnati.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns as Pittsburgh produced 411 total yards. Jaylen Warren supplied the biggest change on the ground, rushing for 127 yards on 17 carries and adding 49 receiving yards.

With Rico Dowdle ruled out again Thursday because of a toe injury, Warren should remain central to the offense. The prediction market gives him a 48% chance to score a touchdown, the highest among the listed players.

Pittsburgh has questions on defense, however. Joey Porter Jr. will miss his fourth straight game, while Jalen Ramsey and Brandin Echols are questionable with injuries in the secondary.

The Steelers' pass rush could help compensate. Derrick Harmon delivered the decisive play against Cincinnati with a strip-sack in the final minute. Pittsburgh carries a 60% probability of recording at least three sacks Thursday.

Cleveland's offense showing signs of progress

The Browns have also steadied offensively after their rough start.

Deshaun Watson has thrown four touchdowns without an interception over the past two games after Cleveland scored only 10 points in Jacksonville. He enters Thursday completing 68.3% of his passes with five touchdowns and one interception on the season.

Rookie receiver Denzel Boston has emerged as the team's leading downfield threat with 195 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Harold Fannin Jr. leads Cleveland with 14 receptions and caught the go-ahead touchdown late in Sunday's 21-18 win over Carolina.

The running game has been slower to develop. Quinshon Judkins produced a season-high 70 yards on 18 carries Sunday but is averaging 3.0 yards per attempt through three games. His anytime touchdown probability sits at 41%.

Cleveland will also be without center Elgton Jenkins and guard Teven Jenkins, adding another challenge against Pittsburgh's defensive front.

What to Watch

• Warren's encore: Pittsburgh's lead back is coming off 176 yards from scrimmage and should carry another heavy workload with Dowdle out.
• Cleveland's offensive line: The Browns will be without two starting interior linemen against Pittsburgh's defensive front.
• Pittsburgh's secondary: Porter is out for a fourth straight game, while Ramsey and Echols are questionable.
• Watson's recent form: He has thrown four touchdowns without an interception during Cleveland's two-game winning streak.
• AFC North positioning: One of two 2-1 division rivals will leave Thursday night with an early-season advantage.
