Would you look at the time? We're just over 15 minutes away from Steelers-Browns. Wild card round. Playoffs. Here we go.

Couching it up. Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo are in the press box.

Brian - Can you tell us the starters on the OL?
Brian Batko
8:00
Sounds like it's going to be Matt Feiler at left guard, the rest the same.
8:01
This just in: If Steelers win, their divisional round game at Buffalo will be another 8:15 p.m. kickoff, but on SATURDAY night.
Plan accordingly.

Yes, I scooped it from the Bills twitter feed.

Wait, Steelers get the late game on Sunday and have to play on Saturday. What does the NFL have against Pit?

BB - Speaking of run game, who are out RB's tonight?
Brian Batko
8:12
James Conner, Jaylen Samuels, Benny Snell. Anthony McFarland did not get a "hat."
8:13
8:14
Just like last week, Browns win the coin toss and defer. Myles Garrett is good at this!

For what it's worth, ESPN.com's matchup predictor gives the Steelers a 67.9% chance to win tonight.

Do we two kickers active?
Brian Batko
8:14
No, Matthew Wright is on practice squad.
Julio

Do they still sing the national anthem without a crowd?
Brian Batko
8:14
Yes, it is still played in some form.
Brian in VA

So with a win the Bills will really be due at 8:15 next week

Is this the game the Steelers unleash their power rushing attack that they have been keeping secret all season?
Brian Batko
8:17
My goodness! My word! Holy bird oil!
Touchdown, Browns. Maurkice Pouncey sends the snap WAY too high, even for 6-5 Big Ben, and the Browns recover it in the end zone. Wow. Just like that, 7-0.

I HAVE SAID FOR YEARS POUNCEY IS THE MOST OVERRATED PLAYER ON THIS TEAM!!!!!!!

Angie, I have not heard many of your comments but have not disagreed with one of them.

Did Ben even try to get on it?  He was first to the ball and just looked at it.  Scared to get hit?  Shows how important winning is to him.
Brian Batko

Did Conner make enough of an effort there?
Second snap from scrimmage: No touchdown for the Browns.

They don't call it a wild card game for nothing.
Brian Batko
8:23
Derek Watt! You've been asking for him all year, there he is. With a carry, no less, and converting a first down, even.
8:24
Welllllllp. Ben Roethlisberger throws a bad, bad pick, to the same guy who had the game-changing INT of Mason Rudolph last week. Great catch by MJ Stewart, but Ben simply can't make that mistake in this game.

Long night ahead.
Brian Batko
8:25
Roethlisberger was targeting Benny Snell on a checkdown, overthrew him, and Stewart made a one-handed grab in honor of injured Brown Odell Beckham. Cleveland will start at at the Steelers 46. Yikes.
Robert Layne
8:26
No words...here comes a long pass for a Td
Brian Batko
8:28
Touchdown, Browns. Baker Mayfield to Jarvis Landry, just as Robert "Bobby" Layne predicted.
