One thing is for sure — the Cleveland Browns don't need any practice to prepare for a postseason game in 2021. With Cleveland traveling to the “Steel City” to take on the arch rival Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild card round, the Browns are absolutely rolling as fans of the team might even feel like they're dreaming.

Things couldn't be going better for the Browns, a team that currently leads the Steelers by the score of 28-0 in the first quarter. Even though this AFC North showdown has yet to leave the opening frame, the Browns have already scored four touchdowns with running back Kareem Hunt scoring the last two.

Hunt literally just gave the Browns a 21-0 lead before Cleveland picked off Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger yet again. In no time, Hunt was back in the end zone for his second touchdown of the evening as Cleveland extended its lead to an unthinkable 28-0.

The Browns opened up the game's scoring in the first 15 seconds of the contest as the Steelers fumbled the snap and wound up kicking the ball around all the way back into its own end zone.

The Browns have since picked off the aforementioned “Big Ben” not once but twice en route to scoring two more touchdowns in the first quarter of Sunday's wild card matchup.

With Hunt doing it on the ground and the Browns obviously taking care of business on defense, Cleveland has also put together a competent passing attack as well with quarterback Baker Mayfield and wide receiver Jarvis Landry connecting for a touchdown already too.

If the Browns do hang on to win this game, they would visit the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Divisional Playoff Game. That contest starts just after 3 p.m. Eastern time next Sunday, January 17. If Cleveland finishes off Pittsburgh, the Baltimore Ravens would visit the Buffalo Bills in the other AFC divisional round game on Saturday night at 8:15 p.m. Eastern time.
