3. The O-Line becoming a strength

Washington’s front four were previously mentioned as a team strength, and while it’s true, the 11 sacks the team’s recorded are, at the very least, a little misleading.

Eight of the 11 quarterback takedowns came against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, and that line might as well have been constructed with guys off the street.

Their front four will get a big test against the Browns, who finally have their offensive line on track under Kevin Stefanski’s zone blocking scheme.

Right tackle Jack Conklin is set to return this week, which will be a huge addition for Cleveland. The big free-agent signing missed the Cincinnati game with an ankle problem.

At guard, Wyatt Teller is taking ahold of the job as if he never wants to let it go.

Plus, Jedrick Wills isn’t getting the run of Mekhi Becton, but he’s quietly been playing very well. It’s important to remember that he’s learning a new position, but he hasn’t had any major problems.
