Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy was already thinking about the Cleveland Browns when speaking with reporters after Sunday’s 16-10 win over the New Orleans Saints in Paris.
The Browns, who are also 5-2, beat the Steelers in Week 4 by a field goal.
Sunday’s game at Acrisure Stadium is certainly pivotal in the division race. The Steelers have not been swept by the Browns in a season since 1988.
“We need to beat them. They got us once already, and it’s a rivalry game for us. We’re looking forward to playing them at home. They’re playing good football,” McCarthy said. “It was a very intense rivalry game, just like you’d expect. So we’re definitely looking forward to playing them again, but first, we’re going to enjoy this flight home.”
