With rumors and speculation surrounding Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston, Cleveland may be going into Florida facing a quarterback who is just getting acclimated to hits again if he is indeed suspended.

If Winston is not playing for whatever reason, Tampa Bay does not have a chance to beat Cleveland. If he is, then they have a chance but his risk-taking mentality combined with Cleveland’s defense should lead to a long day for the former top pick.

As long as the Browns running backs stay away from Kwon Alexander, Gerald McCoy, and Vita Vea, a solid performance should be seen offensively. However, there is more needed than just that for them to end up with a win. Splitting Johnson out wide with Gordon and/or Landry having a field day against an average secondary that could use some help is ideal and inevitable.

Tampa Bay knows they have a tough challenge going up against such an athletic quarterback like Taylor. They faced him last year when he was with the Buffalo Bills. Last year in a win, Taylor threw for 268 yards and a touchdown while also rushing for 53 yards. Just think about the stats Taylor could put up this year on a new team with more offensive talent.
