Biggest questions Cleveland Browns need to answer vs. Miami
The Cleveland Browns look to add another win to their record by beating up on a lowly Dolphins team. Issue with that is, the Dolphins seemingly have a lot of fight in them.
The Cleveland Browns are a more talented team but can’t quit if the going gets tough this week against the Miami Dolphins. Here I lay out some questions the Browns need to answer this week in order to keep their momentum going.
Baker Mayfield, can he continue his quality play as of late?
Against a lacking Miami defense, we as fans, better see it continue. Good decision-making should be consistent in this game for Baker Mayfield and carry over next week against Pittsburgh. This game should be taken seriously, but in reality should boil down to being a warmup for the rest of the season and fine tuning for the Cleveland Browns offense and Freddie Kitchens’ play-calling.
At this point in the season, Kitchens has been a failure. Those four wins are not due to Kitchens in any way. His play-calling, clock management and overall coaching ability has shown to be lackluster at best, this week should be his best outing as a head coach.

Kareem Hunt to get plentiful touches?
Why not? Kareem Hunt is a more than capable back in this league and in order to ensure Nick Chubb stays healthy, get your usage out of Hunt while you have him. Hunt will be making those clutch catches out of the backfield and run over defenders at will.
There is excitement to watch it unfold this week. Both backs should be fed the ball well this week. There should be an offensive explosion this week against this Dolphins team made up of mostly backups.
Browns defensive look without Garrett and Ogunjobi
Lacking up front. The front seven will severely miss these two. Larry Ogunjobi will be back against the Pittsburgh Steelers, while Myles Garrett will also be out. The league has made a serious mistake in the Myles Garrett ruling and will only further show their incompetence.
Garrett not being on the field changes the entire look of the defense, but it will also the Dolphins offense to be able to move the ball some on the ground. Hopefully the Cleveland Browns secondary can step up and shut down Ryan Fitzpatrick to potentially force a one-dimensional offense .
Look for big things from the Browns offense. Hopefully the Browns defense can hold off the gunslinger that is Fitzpatrick. Should be a win Browns fans, hope for the best.
