Los Angeles Chargers: 3 Bold predictions vs. Browns in Week 13
By Derek Snyder
3. Chargers will force three or more turnovers
If there’s one huge reason why the Browns are currently 0-11, it’s because they lead the NFL in total turnovers with 28. Needless to say, I believe the Chargers will force Cleveland’s offense into more of the same in Week 13.

Not only does Los Angeles have one of the best pass-rush defenses in all of football, but the Browns offensive line has given up the third-most sacks in the league. If Cleveland has any chance on Sunday afternoon, they have to protect their quarterback. If they cannot, don’t be surprised when the Chargers bait the Browns into three or more turnovers at home.
More than likely, DeShone Kizer will be getting the start at quarterback this weekend for Cleveland, which is great news for Los Angeles. Kizer has thrown a total of 14 interceptions, while only tossing five touchdowns in 2017.
It’s pretty amazing to see a starting quarterback in this league have nearly three times more interceptions than touchdowns, but here we are. If Cleveland wants any chance of winning on Sunday, they have to protect the football. That said, I sincerely don’t expect that to happen.
