How to watch Browns at Commanders Week 5 game with and without cable
The 1-3 Cleveland Browns are headed to Washington D.C. to try and stop the 3-1 Washington Commanders. It's easier said than done to try and slow down rookie QB Jayden Daniels and the Commanders explosive offense, but it's what the Browns must do to avoid an abysmal 1-4 start.
After leading last week's game by 10, Cleveland relinquished the lead to the Las Vegas Raiders and never got it back. The team lost 20-16 in Week 4 after one big touchdown pass from QB Deshaun Watson to WR Amari Cooper was wiped off the scoreboard because of a holding call and behind some poor rushing offense.
Its also been a busy news week for the Browns, with rookie DT Mike Hall Jr. being handed an official five-game suspension by the league in connection with a domestic violence arrest and with Cooper's name flying around in trade discussions.
But, Cleveland has something to play for - star RB Nick Chubb is back at practice, and the team will have to activate him to the active roster in the next three weeks. RB Nyheim Hines and TE David Njoku were also active in practice this past week, great signs of the Browns finally getting healthy again.
Let's take a look at how to catch Week 5's game against the Commanders, with or without a cable subscription.
