Cleveland Browns blueprint to victory vs. Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15

Cleveland Browns Blueprint No. 1: Run the football

With the Cleveland Browns having a guy like Nick Chubb, the easy answer is to always run the football. Unfortunately, teams have continued to stack the box and make things tougher for the Browns offense.

Nothing will be different this week with Landry and Hooper out as passing threats, but the Browns will also be without three starting offensive linemen (Jack Conklin has been out previously though).

This means that Alex Van Pelt and Bill Callahan will have their work cut out for them. Callahan will have two backup offensive tackles to get coached up, and Van Pelt will have play-calling duties for the first time this year and be extremely short-handed.

Expect Case Keenum to hand the ball off at least 25 of 30 times and expect almost every other play to be play action of some sort. Keenum and Mayfield are very similar in they both struggle to line up and shotgun and throw the ball when the defense knows what’s coming.

I think the offensive line will be up to the challenge and there is no better running back in the league at making people miss.

Keenum is a veteran who has had success in the league and will do just enough to help this Brown’s offense score enough points to come away with a crucial win.
