Game: Cleveland Browns (2-1) and Dallas Cowboys (1-2)

Summary: Rejoice, Browns fans. The Cleveland Browns have a winning record for the first time since 2014, and while others may laugh at that fact, you have every right to enjoy this moment. It’s been a long road to get back to competitive, entertaining football in Cleveland, so revel in this.

Unfortunately, the Browns can’t stay in this moment for too long, as they have to turn around and face a tough opponent in Week 4 in the Dallas Cowboys. While the Cowboys come in at 1-2, they were a questionable pass interference call from going to overtime with the Los Angeles Rams and had a chance to win the game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3, if it weren’t for another defensive letdown.

Dallas has a really explosive offense, led by quarterback Dak Prescott, who leads the league in passing yards. With playmakers on the outside and a banged-up secondary for Cleveland, it could be a long day for the Browns. Thankfully for them, they have a guy named Myles Garrett on the defensive line, who seems to make a play whenever the team needs a spark.

Another bonus for the Cleveland Browns is the fact that the Dallas Cowboys defense hasn’t looked impressive in 2020 thus far. They allow a ton of yards, and many of their playmakers have not been a factor so far this season. Baker Mayfield could have a chance to get some real passing yard stats in this game. Of course, the game will go through the two-headed monsters in the backfield in Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt first and foremost, but if Baker is given a few extra chances to throw it deep, he could see some success.

As much success as I think the Browns offense will have, however, I think the Cowboys will have about twice as much success. The Browns defense could be without both its starting cornerbacks in Greedy Williams and Denzel Ward and with the safety position being a weakness so far in 2020, I expect Dak Prescott to throw for over 400 yards again. The Browns are a much-improved team from the past few seasons, but they aren’t quite on the level they want to be yet. I think that shows in this matchup.

Prediction: Dallas 48, Cleveland 28
