3 Keys to a Cleveland Browns win vs. Indianapolis Colts
By Clay Goodwin
What are the Cleveland Browns keys to victory over the Colts in Week 5?
The Cleveland Browns are off to a hot 3-1 start to the 2020 NFL season. After falling to the Baltimore Ravens in week one 38-6, they have managed to win three straight by beating the Bengals, Washington, and the Cowboys. The Browns have been very impressive to this point, but have two challenging contests coming up against the Colts and Steelers.
Cleveland takes on the Indianapolis Colts Sunday who are also 3-1. Their wins have come against the Vikings, Jets, and Bears. The Colts have had a mediocre offense thus far, but lead the league in almost every important defensive statistic.
The Browns will unfortunately have to take on the Colts without their star running back Nick Chubb as he suffered an MCL sprain in last Sunday’s contest. The Browns lost Chubb in the first quarter and still managed to route the Cowboys 49-38 so that should bring some confidence to the offense.
The Colts will likely be one of the teams the Browns are competing with to fight for a playoff spot. Cleveland still has a legitimate chance to win their division, but if not they will be in the mix with the Colts or Titans as well as others for the final playoff spots. This game will be huge for standings in both the division and conference respectively. This contest will be a good measuring tool for the offense and team as a whole as they go against a tremendous defense and a solid AFC foe.
Let’s dive into the keys for Cleveland to take down the Colts this Sunday.
