5 Bold Cleveland Browns predictions vs. Miami Dolphins in Week 12
By Randy Gurzi
1. Jarvis Landry scores two TDs against former team
Jarvis Landry was a second-round pick of the Miami Dolphins back in 2014. He quickly proved to be a great selection for them as he had 84 receptions for758 yards and five touchdowns in his rookie campaign.
He then followed that up with his first of two 100-reception seasons. The second of those years came in 2017 when he led the league in catches with 112. That also proved to be his final season with Miami.
Landry was traded during the following offseason and signed a long-term extension with the Browns. He played well in 2018 as the No. 1 target, grabbing 81 passes for 976 yards. So far this season, he has another 49 catches for 695 yards and three scores.
He’s been exactly what the Browns thought he would be — a solid route runner with great hands and a good presence in the locker room. That final part of the equation though was in question when he first arrived.
Landry was traded away from Miami with there being rumors that he was a problem for head coach Adam Gase. Landry later admitted that Gase used to threaten players that he would trade them to Cleveland if he didn’t shape up.
Now 10 games into his second season with the Browns, it seems as though Landry was not the issue in Miami — it also helps get to that conclusion when you consider the fact that Gase was fired following another poor season in 2018.
The Cleveland receiver got some revenge on Gase as he and the Browns won 23-3 against his former head coach’s new team, the New York Jets. Now, he looks to take down the franchise that chose the confrontational coach over him.
In our final bold prediction, not only does Landry guide his team to a win, but he also scores two touchdowns in the process.
Next. Garrett has precedent, should win appeal. dark
It would be a sweet moment for him as he proves they should have kept him in South Beach.
