Cleveland Browns at Denver Broncos

The Cleveland Browns head to Denver for a nationally televised game against the hated Denver Broncos. Fans cannot forget the Drive and the Fumble. But it is finally time for some redemption.

With Baker Mayfield leading this team, anything can happen. And it is about time the Browns kicked the Broncos collective posteriors. In fact, Weird Al put it best: we’re great and you suck!

On the verge of sounding like a homer, this is probably the most exciting Browns teams fans have seen in years. It is time to go out and prove the playoff talk is for real. Although it is a long shot, the Browns can make a statement by beating the Broncos at Mile High.

To do that, the Browns will need to deal with Von Miller. On the other side, they will have to have a plan for Bradley Chubb. Even though he has not been spectacular, he is the type of player that could give left tackle Greg Robinson a lot of problems. This week will be all about containing the pass rush.

On defense, the Browns will need to stop the running game. Even though quarterback Case Keenum signed a big contract, he has yet to live up to the hype. The Broncos see their schedule full of winnable games against the Browns and Raiders.

If the playoffs are on the table, this is a game the Browns need to win. And they will,  provided the air and altitude is not a factor.
