Cleveland Browns: 5 Bold predictions vs. Bengals in Week 7
By Randy Gurzi
3. Hunt runs for 100 yards, two TDs
Week 6 was a tough game for Kareem Hunt. With Nick Chubb out due to a knee injury, the running game has been going through Hunt and he had been up to the challenge. That was until he ran into the Pittsburgh Steelers staunch defense this past Sunday.
Hunt had his lowest yardage total of the season as he had just 40 yards on 13 carries — 2hich was just over three yards per attempt. He also finished with only two receptions for 17 yards and had no touchdowns either on the ground or through the air which was a first since their opening weekend loss to Baltimore.
As frustrating as that was, he has to be excited to see the Bengals back on the schedule. After facing the stingiest rush defense according to ESPN, the Browns will now see Cincinnati which is third-worst in the league. Through five games, the Bengals have given up 854 yards which is worse than everyone except the Jaguars and Texans.
On top of that, Hunt had his best rushing game of the season, going for 86 yards on just 10 carries with one touchdown. He also added another touchdown through the air. In this prediction, he keeps up the good work against Cincy and has not only his first 100 yard game of the season but adds two more rushing touchdowns.
