Cleveland Browns: 3 keys to victory against the Washington Football Team
By Chad Porto
The Cleveland Browns have the Washington Football team this Sunday, and many expect the Browns to win but to do so, there are three things they need to do.
The Washington Football Team is having a rough start to the year. The Cleveland Browns are… meeting expectations, we’ll say. The Browns are fresh off of last Thursday night’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals and are coming into this game with ten days of rest and relaxation to get right. That’s also ten days of film and practice. Ten days of getting rookies up to par and injured players ready to go.
Ten days to find out the holes of a team without a logo, or an identity. Offensively speaking.
The Washington Football Team has second-year quarterback Dwayne Haskins under center and he has not been the player that people like Mel Kiper hyped up. The collegiate accuracy that was so talked about and so vaunted has gone out the window. Part of that does fall on his support cast; the offensive line, running backs, and wide receiver groups could use an upgrade.
Some of it though does fall on his decision making, which isn’t great.
That’s where Washington and Cincinnati diverge. Both only have one side of the ball they can rely on. For the Bengals it was their offense, for the Washington Football Team it’s their defense. Their defense is stout and can go after just about any quarterback. That’s the way the team from Washington can get a win over the Browns is to shut down the Browns offense.
If the Browns want to win, however, there are three simple things the Browns need to do on Sunday.
