PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers enter their regular-season finale against Cleveland still in the mix for the playoffs. Pittsburgh is 8-8 and needs a victory over the Browns and losses by Miami and New England to reach the postseason for the third straight year. The Steelers have praised coach Mike Tomlin’s leadership for helping them bounce back after a 2-6 start. Cleveland is 7-9 and searching for a season sweep of its longtime rival for the first time since 1988. The Browns are 3-2 since quarterback Deshaun Watson took over.
