The featured story today comes from a CBS Sports piece where the Browns are being picked to lose to the New York Jets on Monday Night Football in Week 2.

That’s not a terrible thing as this team is used to being underdogs. They’re also used to upsetting the Jets in the bright lights.

Cleveland Browns News

Week 2 NFL picks: One AFC North contender rebounds while another falls to 0-2, Antonio Brown scores for Patriots — Bryan DeArdo, CBS Sports

"“Sound the alarms in Cleveland: the Browns fall to 0-2 after losing to Le’Veon Bell and a Jets team that surrendered a double-digit lead to the Bills in Week 1. Bell, who enjoyed a great deal of success against the Browns during his time with the Steelers, will get his first win as a Jet while re-emerging as one of the NFL’s most versatile running backs.”"

Cleveland isn’t technically entering this game as an underdog, but there will be plenty of pundits selecting them to lose following their opening weekend. That could be good for the Dawgs who are used to being doubted.

Greedy Williams relishes 1st NFL start and draws praise in the process — Andrew Gribble, ClevelandBrowns.com

"“It wasn’t the Browns’ best day of football, but Williams held his own as the only rookie to see the field on offense or defense. He logged 40 of a possible 61 snaps on a day the Browns surrendered just four completions to wide receivers.”"

The Browns were without a first-round pick this year but that ended up working out just fine as LSU’s Greedy Williams fell to them. Now, Williams is getting in on the action as a starter and played just fine for them.
