Browning only has to be as good as Pickett

[*ochocincos*]

Browning can be "only as good as Pickett" if they can rely on the run game and defense to keep the opposition from scoring.
Steelers, while not an elite running team, have 1100 rush yards across the same number of games the Bengals have just 800. Steelers averaging .4 YPC higher than Bengals.
Steelers also 7th in the league in Points Allowed. Compare that to 21st in the league for Bengals defense.
