The Pittsburgh Steelers have plenty of members of their organization enshrined forever in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. There are so many Steelers busts in those hallowed halls many who vote on who gets in, and is left out, think there are too many Steelers in the Hall of Fame.
That is what we like to call the Steelers bias.
Nonetheless, there are two prominent figures vying for induction in 2021, and with the vote/announcement just around the corner, members of the Hall of Fame Selection Committee spoke on behalf of those who are hoping to get the good news phone call in just a few weeks.

They only practiced Friday, and they had to travel down the highway to face the Steelers in Pittsburgh, where they d lost 17 straight games dating back to 2003, including a 38-7 whipping in Week 6. It was all set up for another #asexpected Browns letdown. And then the game began.

The Cleveland Browns tied an NFL record for first-quarter points en route to a 48-37 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in their AFC wild-card game Sunday.
The Browns jumped out to a 28-0 lead in a little more than 13 minutes against the Steelers to secure their first playoff victory since 1994. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield threw three touchdowns to help set up a divisional-round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, the AFC’s No. 1 seed.
Cleveland will play Kansas City next Sunday at 3:05 p.m. ET, while the Buffalo Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday at 8:15 p.m. ET.
