Game: Washington Football Team (1-1) at Cleveland Browns (1-1)

Summary: The key to the game is to find where Chase Young is, and run somewhere else. He is a bad, bad, man.

The first thing that people seem to want to talk about concerning Washington is their defensive line. Chase Young is their answer to Myles Garrett, and the Browns are going to have to respect him as well as Jonathan Allen, Da’Ron Payne, Ryan Kerrigan, and Montez Sweat. But Young is the guy they have to think about double-teaming. Also, linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis was named the Secret Superstar for Week 2 by Pro Football Focus. So there is some serious talent on defense. However, the Browns are too multidimensional on offense and will wear down the Washingtonians.

The Ohio State connection continues with former Buckeye quarterback Dwayne Haskins chucking the pigskin to Terry McLarin as Washington’s main offensive threat, but the Browns have cornerback Denzel Ward to neutralize him. The rest of their offense is not very intimidating. Supergenius owner Dan Snyder has the team in a rebuilding phase. There is talk about Tanking for Trevor, but they find themselves in a position to obtain his services without deliberately trying.

Prediction: Cleveland 24, Washington 13
