5 Bold predictions for Cleveland Browns in Week 4 vs. Dallas Cowboys
By Greg Newland
4. A big day for Browns wide-outs
To this point, the Browns receivers (or tight ends for that matter) have yet to be that involved in the offense. Part of that is because, in the two wins, the Browns have been able to run the football with tremendous success. And in the one loss, the offense was just never able to click, and the stat line was poor.
Through three games Odell Beckham has 11 catches for 155 yards and one touchdown, Jarvis Landry has 12 catches for 143 yards and 0 touchdowns, and Austin Hooper has 7 catches for 62 yards and no touchdowns. Because the team is winning, no one appears to have an issue now, but things could turn south quickly if losing starts to occur.
The Dallas Cowboys defense has not been off to a hot start either. They have struggled to rush the passer and have given up a lot of yards. While the team could easily be 3-0, look for the 1-2 Cowboys team to come into week four hungry and desperate for a win.
With the Browns struggles on defense, look for Prescott and company to put up points. Because of that, the Browns will look to air the ball out more than typical. And with a weak secondary look for Mayfield and cast to have success.
Look for Mayfield to eclipse 300 yards for the first time this season with Beckham and Landry each having over 75 yards and a touchdown each. Hopefully, the defense will be better in week four, but it appears this offense is going to have to score to give the Browns a chance.
