Cleveland Browns: Game-by-predictions for remainder of 2019 season
By Leon West
Away vs. New England Patriots (6-0)
Preview: The Browns will be coming off of their bye week, and the Patriots will have a semi-short week coming off of a Monday night appearance against the New York Jets. New England has the No. 1 defense in football, and no one has been able to quite figure them out.
Head coach Bill Belichick is known for taking away what you do best and forcing you to be good at your weakness to beat them. Freddie Kitchens has two weeks to devise a game plan sufficient enough to get a win in Foxborough. The Browns will have had two weeks to ponder on a slow start for such a talented team and will keep things close, but it won’t be enough.
Score: Patriots 23, Browns 21
Record: 2-5
Away vs. Denver Broncos (2-5)
Preview: The Broncos offense has sputtered through the season averaging only 317 yards per game. Joe Flacco has just five touchdown passes to six interceptions.
Denver’s offensive line has surrendered 24 sacks with nine coming against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night. The Browns are 5th in the NFL with 19 sacks. Expected tons of pressures from Myles Garrett and company in a close but comfortable game for Cleveland.
Score: Browns 27, Broncos 19
Record: 3-5
