CLEVELAND, Oh. (KDKA) -- The Steelers and the Browns are set for a primetime Thursday night matchup tonight in Cleveland. 

Pittsburgh heads into tonight's game with an 8-2 record while Cleveland's 2-8 record has them looking for a win against their longtime rivals. 

Even though the Browns have just two wins this season, they're a much different team now than they were at the start of the season. 

Cleveland was on a five-game losing streak when they lost quarterback Deshaun Watson to a season-ending injury during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals last month.

Jameis Winston stepped in as the starter and helped lead Cleveland to a 29-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens. 

The Browns have since dropped their last two games to the Chargers and the Saints, but can still be a sneaky team, especially in divisional games.

There's a 50% chance of snow in the forecast, so weather conditions for the game have a chance of being less than ideal along Lake Erie. 

The Steelers are looking for their sixth straight win, having beaten Baltimore 18-16 on Sunday to sit atop the AFC North division. 

Kickoff tonight in Cleveland is set for 8:15 p.m.
