Browns: 3 keys to victory against the Indianapolis Colts

The Browns have the Colts on Sunday, who is going to be a tough out for the North Shore boys and these are three ways the Browns can get the win.

The Colts are standing in between the Browns and history. The team has only started 4-1 a few times in their nearly 80-odd years of existence. In order for the team to achieve that rare mark, the Browns are going to need to figure out how to get past the Colts defense, a group that has become one of the NFL’s most efficient units.

The Browns have come out of the gates firing with a dynamic offense that has powered them to an impressive record. A start that hasn’t been seen by many Browns fans over the course of the last 40 years. Now that the Browns seem to have a head coach who knows what he’s doing, the team has seemingly turned around and the offense has become a powerhouse in the NFL.

That doesn’t mean the Browns are going to have an easy time against the Colts. They’re going need to scrap and claw every this week and every week to prove they’re deserving of the fans’ belief that they are a good NFL team. Right now the Browns are in a flux state, where it could go either way. A win over the Colts on Sunday may seal the deal that the Browns are more contender than pretender. A loss leaves things murky.

That’s truly why this Colts game is so important, not only will the Browns be able to start erasing some bad historical records, such as it being 26 years since the Browns last started 4-1. It’ll also let the national media and the Browns fanbase know that this is the year that things finally turn around. Something the city of Cleveland has been waiting on for over 20 years.
