The Cleveland Browns are still looking for their first win today against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

The Cleveland Browns are still without a win in 2016, and the quest to bring home a victory doesn’t get any easier today when taking on the New England Patriots.

Tom Brady is back from his suspension and is ready to get back to his successful ways, while the Browns are led by a rookie quarterback making his third career start.

But we are talking about the Browns, so an upset win over one of the NFL’s best teams would not be a total surprise. It happened in 2010 and could happen once again in 2016.

The cause will be helped by Carl Nassib, who is returning after missing two weeks because of a broken hand. While he is active, there is still a list of those who remain inactive in Week 5:

The most notable absence will be that of Josh Gordon, who was set to return from his own four-game suspension, only to enter himself into a rehab facility, putting his NFL return on hold. It would be wrong to get angry at him for this decision, but it is still disappointing after expecting him back for this game.

The Browns must move forward with the players in uniform, and the play of Terrelle Pryor should once again have a major effect on this game. He has been used in all facets of the offense and that should continue given Hue Jackson’s ability to open up the playbook now that the team is 0-4.

The Browns are major underdogs, but we could all be in for a surprise this afternoon. As always, we want to keep the conversation going throughout the game. So comment on this post to get our live thread going throughout today’s game. Just please remember to keep it somewhat civil.
