Cleveland Browns: 3 reasons Browns will sweep Bengals in 2020

1. Running game will get back on track

The Browns were embarrassed in Pittsburgh, as the strength of their team–the offensive line–was “out physicaled” on virtually every play.

The line was so bad, some even questioned the play of Kareem Hunt, asking when Nick Chubb will return.

Good news Browns’ Town: Cleveland is going to get their rushing attack back on track on shores of the Ohio River.

And no, it’s not because Chubb is returning. For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t expect to see him until after the Bye in Week 9.

The Browns rushing attack to run back into relevancy thanks to a Cincinnati defensive line that’s been devoted by injuries. Just this month, the Bengals have had to place three starters from the defensive line on injured reserve. Those players include tackles Mike Daniels and D.J. Reader, in addition to end Sam Hubbard.

Cincinnati’s defense gives up 142.3 rushing yards per game, which is 27th among the NFL’s 32 teams. That breaks down to 5.1 yards per rush. Look for Hunt and D’Ernest Johnson to have a huge day.
