Cleveland Browns: 5 Bold predictions vs. Bengals in Week 7

2. Defense forces 2 Burrow picks

When the Browns and Bengals played one another in Week 2, rookie quarterback Joe Burrow had a very good game. He threw an unbelievable 61 passes but refused to give up no matter the deficit and finished with 316 yards and three touchdowns. Most impressively, he never threw a pick — despite the 61 attempts.

Burrow did have one turnover though as Myles Garrett forced him to fumble but overall he was very safe with the football. For the Browns defense, this was different from some of their other games as they’ve actually been pretty good at recording interceptions

In Week 3, they had three interceptions off Dwayne Haskins and then had another when playing Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. In Week 5, they had another two picks off of Philip Rivers as they beat the Indianapolis Colts.

Cleveland’s defense has had its share of problems with a myriad of injuries playing into that. Still, they have done a great job turning the ball over and in this prediction, they do that once again as they not only get their first-ever interception off of Joe Burrow, but they go for two against him.

Joe Woods deserves a lot of credit since he’s kept them competitive despite the injuries and this one will be another testament to his ability as a defensive coordinator.
