Cleveland Browns score predictions vs. Indianapolis Colts in Week 5
By Randy Gurzi
Will the Cleveland Browns win in Week 5 to improve to 4-1?
After a loss in Week 1 to the Ravens, the Cleveland Browns have been on a roll. They knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals and Washington Football Team, but those wins didn’t really stand out since the clubs weren’t considered great. But then in Week 4, the Browns started to make some believers as they dropped 49 points on the Dallas Cowboys.
Of course, now that Cleveland won the game, the narrative has changed and Dallas is terrible. But that wasn’t the case entering the game. Sure, the Cowboys have just one win but they hung tight with the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks — proving they could contend. They also boast one of the best offenses in the NFL, and Cleveland had been struggling on defense.
The Browns, however, proved they’re not afraid. They went after the Cowboys on their own turf as Jarvis Landry hit Odell Beckham, Jr. on a trick play for a long touchdown that set the tone. Even after Dallas struck back with 14 quick points, the Browns never flinched.
They took over from there and had a 41-14 lead in the fourth quarter before Dallas started to climb back. It had gotten as close as 41-38 and in recent years, this could have led to a loss. With everyone expecting the Browns to implode, they came back out and took a big swing as they drew up another trick play, tossing the ball to OBJ on a pitch.
No. 13 took it 50 yards to the house and put the Cowboys out of their misery. Now, they have another tough matchup as they face an elite defense in the Indianapolis Colts. A fellow 3-1 franchise, the Browns will have to dig deep for their fourth win of the season.
