Will the extra week off help the Cleveland Browns get back on the winning track?
The 2019 season has been filled with plenty of disappointing teams so far, but it’s difficult to top the Browns since this team was considered a Super Bowl contender to start the season, yet only has two wins to date entering Week 8.
Plenty can still happen for Cleveland from now until the end of December, but a meeting with the undefeated New England Patriots on the road makes it seem like Browns are in for another loss, but hopefully they won’t go down without a fight.
If the Browns are going to have any shot at pulling off an upset in this one, Odell Beckham Jr. will need to be on top of his game, and make a few big plays in the passing game, which seems unlikely given the Patriots’ defense has been unbelievable in 2019.
Then again, some of Beckham’s performances have come against the best teams in the NFL, so maybe Cleveland will be able to see their wideout pull some magic out of his hat to give the Browns a fighting chance.
Otherwise, the pressure is only going to continue increasing for Cleveland heading into November.
