Cleveland Browns: 3 players to watch vs. Denver Broncos

The Cleveland Browns look for just their second road win of the season as they face the Denver Broncos. These 3 players will be key to their game.

Week 15 pits the Cleveland Browns with the Denver Broncos as they look to keep their slim playoff hopes alive while crushing those of the Broncos. In this game, the Browns come in riding a high from their recent home win over the Carolina Panthers.

As for the Broncos, they just suffered a tough loss on the road to the San Francisco 49ers. That loss sent them to 6-7 on the season, whereas the Browns now come in with a record of 5-7-1.

Each of these teams still has a hope for a winning season — even if they can’t make the playoffs — but a loss in this contest eliminates those chances. For the Browns, that would be a huge accomplishment coming off a 0-16 season last year.

For the Browns to come away with a win here, they will need to count on several players. The most obvious is, of course, is quarterback Baker Mayfield. He’s gone from a rookie learning the ropes, to the leader of the team. It’s weird territory for a fan base who has been starved for a quarterback for so long, but we are finally at a point where we can say we go as far as Baker goes.

While there’s truth to that, he still cannot do it alone. Here we will look at three players who will be vital to the Browns stealing a win in the Mile High City.
