In this episode, Cleveland Browns and Ohio State fan Jon Goffee and I recap the Cleveland Browns securing their first playoff berth in 18 years with a 24-22 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
With both teams scheduled to play Sunday night in Pittsburgh, we look at how Cleveland's COVID and injury issues will affect them in the rematch. Key figures including head coach, Kevin Stefanski and Pro bowl guard Joel Bitonio are among several players and coaches will tested positive and will miss Sunday's game. Defensive end Olivier Vernon ruptured his Achillies in Week 17's game against the Steelers - ending his season.
We also look back at Cleveland's last playoff game, a 36-33 loss to the Steelers in the 2002 AFC Wild Card Game.
Finally, we talk about Ohio State's chances against Alabama in Monday's CFB National Championship Game, and how we view Clemson's Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State's Fields heading into April's NFL Draft, which is scheduled to be in Cleveland.
