Five reasons the Cleveland Browns will win their first game since 2016 when the New York Jets come to FirstEngergy Stadium for Thursday Night Football.

The Cleveland Browns are better than they have been the past two years. There’s no feeling of despair when you flip on the TV or make the journey downtown to FirstEnergy Stadium.

The Browns have dramatically upgraded their talent and have pushed two preseason Super Bowl contenders to the limits.

Alas, there are no wins to celebrate, as the Browns under head coach Hue Jackson are 1-32-1.

The primetime showdown against New York is a turning point game for Cleveland and I made that declaration fully aware that this is Week 3.

The Browns have to start winning games and they either start doing it at home under the lights against a rookie quarterback, or they start trending in the wrong direction.

Think about it, if Cleveland wins, their record improves to 1-1-1. In defeat, Cleveland is starting at 0-2-1 and talk about playing Baker Mayfield and how hot Jackson’s seat has become will be sure to dominate the season narrative.

GM John Dorsey brought Tyrod Taylor to Cleveland to win games. If it doesn’t start now, Taylor will face an uphill battle the rest of the season to stave off Mayfield.

Cleveland will win this game, because they must! Even Vegas agrees, with Oddshark listing the Browns at three-point favorites.

So unlock the Bud Light Fridges Browns fans, we’ve got a victory to celebrate and these five reasons highly why our beloved orange helmets will come out of Thursday Night Football victorious.
