The Cleveland Browns are inching closer but have yet to find the elusive first win. If they are to accomplish this Sunday, which areas should they focus on?

Not a whole lot of eyes around the country will be on the Cleveland Browns’ game this week against the New York Jets. Both teams are virtually out of playoff contention and are just playing for pride at this point. For the Browns though, a Week 8 win would be a sigh of relief in what many see as a likely 0-16 season.

The Jets come in at 2-5, sitting in the AFC East cellar. Looking at the Browns’ remaining schedule, it seems that this week’s matchup bodes better for them than any remaining one. Yet somehow, the Jets present a unique challenge that Cleveland will need to respect. Plus, being 0-7, this team can’t take anything for granted.

With that said though, this is likely the most favorable matchup for the Browns remaining in 2016. This alone raises the stakes, as talks of 0-16 will begin to swirl much more around the organization if they fail to pick up a win in the first two months.

In order to win, the Browns will need to pay attention to detail, and play a disciplined game. More specifically, the following slides detail five keys to victory in Week 8.
