Coming into this game both the Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos are on losing streak. This will be crucial to the chemistry in the locker room because both of the teams have let their frustration show in the media.

We’re halfway through another NFL season and things have not gone the way Cleveland Browns or Denver Broncos fans would have thought. Yet here they are both having only two victories needing a win to keep any hope alive.

Cleveland has struggled with penalties, turnovers and protecting the passer and it seems that they are making more headlines for what they say after the game than what they do during the game.

It has been a tale of two sides of the ball for the Broncos this season, they rank 28th in scoring offense and eighth in scoring defense. This has been the case for them since they lost Peyton Manning.

For Cleveland, this begins a very favorable part of their schedule when they only play two teams with a winning record, the Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens who they beat 40-25 earlier this season.

There could be jobs on the line for both clubs if things don’t improve in the second half of the season. If Freddie Kitchens can’t turn this around the Browns may think they made a mistake by making a guy who was never even an offensive coordinator their head coach.

It’s hard to imagine the Broncos walking away from John Elway but ever since the days of Peyton Manning, he has proven incapable of finding a quality quarterback. Browns fans remember one of his horrible picks, Brock Osweiler who recently retired.

The winner of this game could get a boost to the rest of their season. Cleveland hopes to compete for a division title and the Broncos are trying to build for next season.
