The Saints are on upset alert with the Browns visiting this Sunday
The Cleveland Browns have been a popular pick to surprise a lot people this season. After the effort the Browns showed late in the fourth quarter against the Steelers, it is making them one of the top picks to cause an upset this week.
"Todd Haley admitted Thursday that he may have put too much on his offense’s plate against the Steelers, expecting it would function like a well-oiled machine instead of the new group that it is."
It is very rare for an offensive coordinator to come to a new team and the offense immediately clicks. It was obvious that there will be a lot of growing pains for the Browns offense, and hopefully some changes this week will help the offense get going against the Saints.
"Earnest Byner, Clay Matthews, Eric Metcalf and former coach Marty Schottenheimer were among the 102 modern-era nominees announced Thursday. The class will be whittled down to 25 semifinalists in November and 15 finalists in January before the class is announced shortly before the Super Bowl."
