Browns vs. Colts: Week 3 start time, TV, radio info

The Cleveland Browns face the Indianapolis Colts with both teams looking for their first win of the season. Here is how to watch or listen to today’s game.

The Cleveland Browns hit the road again today to take on the Indianapolis Colts.

Presumably, one of the teams will exit Lucas Oil Stadium around 4 p.m. with their first win of the season.

The Browns enter the game in far better shape health wise than the Colts, but Cleveland is missing two key players in linebacker Jamie Collins, who is definitely out with a concussion, and defensive end Myles Garrett, who is likely out with his high ankle sprain.

Offensively, the Browns will be facing a Colts defense that is among the league’s best when it comes to stopping the run, so we may be in for another afternoon of watching rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer throwing the ball far too much.

A win today would be the first road victory for the Browns under head coach Hue Jackson, and it would help calm down the rising tide of angst over the Browns starting the season at 0-2 despite playing two of the league’s better teams.

That is a reality not lost on Jackson, according to clevelandbrowns.com:

"“We need to win. Our guys have worked extremely hard, and that is something I have talked to them about. Obviously, like I said, we played two of the better teams in our division, one and two in Pittsburgh and Baltimore. We get it. We are not there yet, but that is where we want to be. We competed. We didn’t compete well enough to win. We have an opportunity to go out and play better this week and try to get a victory. It would boost everybody’s morale – the organization, our players, everybody – because that is where we want to get to as fast as we can, which is winning.”"
