Pittsburgh is a -6 home favorite versus the Cleveland Browns. This line had dropped to -5 by Sunday afternoon at some books.
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski will be out due to a Covid-19 positive result. Prior to this news, Cleveland had opened at +3.5.
The Browns have been dealing with a pandemic outbreak for three weeks now. In Week 16, the team was without most of its receiving corps in a loss to the New York Jets.
In their Wildcard game against the Steelers, players testing positive for Covid-19 include wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge, defensive backs coach Jeff Howard and tight ends coach Drew Petzing.
According to NFL rules, anyone testing positive for COVID-19 must sit out at least 10 days, including coaches.
Special-teams coordinator Mike Priefer will serve as acting head coach Sunday.
The Steelers are 20-1 against Cleveland at Heinz Field, including a 36-33 victory in the wild-card round in the 2002 playoffs and a 38-7 beatdown in October in which Stefanski pulled quarterback Baker Mayfield following a miserable two-interception performance.
"I think they're still the same Browns teams I play every year," Pittsburgh wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster said. "I think they're nameless gray faces. They have a couple good players on their team, but at the end of the day, I don't know. The Browns is the Browns. It's one of those things, AFC North football. They're a good team. I'm just happy we're playing them again."
