Pittsburgh has been hit with a rash of early season injuries to key players, in- cluding quarterback Terry Bradshaw, running back Franco Harris, linebacker Jack Lambert and defensive tackle Joe Greene, all of whom have missed action thus far this year. Still, the Steelers have only been beaten once. Why? Browns Coach Sam Rutigliano offers this answer: "Without question, the Steelers have the best depth in the NFL: And they have Terry Bradshaw at quarterback. Bradshaw has virtually carried the Steelers him- self. Without question he is the best quarterback in the NFL." This week Bradshaw will go to receiver John Stallworth and tight end Benny Cunningham in passing situations. Franco Harris and Sidney Thornton combine to give Pittsburgh one of the biggest backfields in the NFL when they choose to run. Cleveland's tough defense will be tested, although the return of Lyle Alzado at defensive end should help. Without Greg Pruitt, Cleveland will be at a big disadvantage. Mike Pruitt and Cleo Miller will try to pick up the slack in the running game. Quarter- back Brian Sipe is off to a good start this year, and look for him to throw to Dave Logan, Ozzie Newsome, Reggie Rucker or veteran Calvin Hill. Benny Malone, two ex- alented backs.
