The Cleveland Browns travel to South Beach for Sunday’s week 3 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. What must the team do to get its first win?

A long and less than enjoyable week in Berea is finally concluding as the Cleveland Browns are traveling to Miami to take on the Dolphins in a Week 3 matchup of 0-2 teams on Sunday afternoon.

For the Browns, it is a golden opportunity against a team undergoing a similar rebuilding process to notch that elusive first victory of the season.

But for any team that has been through what the Browns have this week, refocusing on the game at hand can be difficult. Of course, the numerous distractions the week brought could serve as motivation for an organization so heavily scrutinized.

Whatever the case though, the Browns need to focus on the smaller aspects of the matchup with the Dolphins and execute for 60 minutes. To do this, they will need to emphasize areas which have caused them to falter in their first two losses.

This game is critical for the direction of the season, so the Browns must pay attention to every detail. They certainly have a chance to win, but will still need to work hard for it even against a sub-par opponent. The following are five keys to this game for Cleveland to focus on.
