Browns at Commanders

Outside of the divisional games remaining, this one will be the Browns’ toughest test over the final six games. The Washington Commanders started off 1-4 but have gone 6-1 since — after seeing that Carson Wentz is still Carson Wentz which led to a move under center.

Taylor Heinicke is the man leading the charge and as long as he’s the starter, this team will be tough to stop from a defensive perspective. He has an elite wide receiver in Terry McLaurin and also two dynamic running backs in Antonio Gibson and Brian Robinson, Jr.

The Washington defense will give Deshaun Watson and the Browns’ offense fits with a great pass rush led by Daron Payne, who many Cleveland fans wanted the team to make a move for at the trade deadline. Chase Young should be back, as his return will be soon after coming off an ACL tear at the end of last season. That will only enhance this pass rush of the Commanders.

In the end, it will come down to who has the better quarterback and that favors the Browns. This will be no easy task in the Nation’s Capital, but a winnable game nonetheless.

Browns 27, Commanders 17
