What happened: Todd Monken is declining to spend any preparation time or energy this week addressing the Browns' two-decade regular-season losing streak in Pittsburgh. Cleveland enters the week coming off a 27-24 road victory over the Tennessee Titans on Oct. 25.

Why it matters: Sitting at 5-2 with the No. 3 seed and a two-game winning streak, the Browns are prioritizing current playoff positioning over historical division struggles. Cleveland also bolstered its roster depth earlier this week by activating quarterback Dillon Gabriel from injured reserve.

What to watch: The Browns continue preparations for their upcoming divisional road trip while evaluating edge rusher and tight end depth ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
