The Cleveland Browns are back to work after their bye week and first up is the Houston Texans. these are the three players to game plan for.

The Cleveland Browns are back and ready to play ball against the Houston Texans in their Week 10 matchup. The Browns are 5-3 and are coming off of their best eight-game stretch in decades. The Texans, however, saw their playoff hopes get dashed in the first few weeks of the season. Now 2-6, they’re looking for a new permanent head coach and answers to how their once-vaunted franchise was disseminated and left nearly talentless.

The Texans have some quality players left, but outside of DeShaun Watson, there’s not a single-player they should’ve kept before the deadline. They’re either aging out or would have brought in a nice haul to rebook the team.

The Browns on offense are looking at a potential record-setting day, because not only are the Texans bad at historic levels, but the Browns are getting back Austin Hooper, Wyatt Teller, and Nick Chubb for the game. The Texans will need to step up just to keep it close.

Still, these are the three players the Browns should worry about.

Zach Cunningham

A jack of all trades, Zach Cunningham is a high-volume tackler, with fair form. He doesn’t throw many arm tackles and because of that doesn’t have a lot of guys break his tackles. He’s already set a career-high with sacks at three, and with J.J. Watt returning to form, Cunningham may be a force to reckon with. He’s moved from an outside linebacking spot last year, to an inside spot this year, and it seems to have paid off with his ability. He may not be a Brian Urlacher or Ray Lewis in the middle but he’s shown to have enough playmaking ability to be a fit.
