This week, the Cleveland Browns play their second of three consecutive home games. What must the team concentrate on if they are to come away with a win?

The past eleven weeks have been quite a struggle for the Cleveland Browns for obvious reasons. Now, with an 0-11 record and a major holiday just finished, many fans feel burnt out. To say the least, it will be difficult for most to get excited about their team’s upcoming Week 12 clash with the New York Giants.

If it is hard for the most passionate fans in football to get up for a game, it’s going to be no easier for the players themselves. They want to get into the win column more than anyone, yet often feel helpless in their pursuit to do so.

Most of all, the players and coaches must focus on these five areas of the game. If they do, the game will be competitive and Cleveland will have an opportunity to pull it off in the end. The following five keys are the team’s tools to success this week.
