Browns: 3 Philadelphia Eagles to gameplan for in Week 11
By Chad Porto
The Browns have the Eagles on Sunday for their Week 11 matchup and these are the three players Cleveland has to plan for.
The Cleveland Browns are hoping to continue their winning ways in the AFC with a win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. The Browns are currently in a gridlock of sorts in the AFC wild-card race, with a host of teams now sitting at 6-3. The Browns can ill-afford to stumble at this point in their season, and the Eagles are primed for a beating.
The Browns are facing off with one of the better defenses that they’ve seen all year, however, but it’s their offensive weapons that stand out individually. The defense doesn’t have one or two big names on it, so kudos to them as a unit for getting it done. That’s where the offense differs. It’s a mess. They do have some playmakers, however, and that’s who we’re going to be looking at.
These are the three players the Browns should gameplan for.
Miles Sanders
Miles Sanders is averaging six yards per carry in the six games he’s played for the Philadelphia Eagles. That number may see a leap against the Browns due to the struggles of Eagles’ “franchise” quarterback, Carson Wentz. Due to Wentz’s inability to protect the football, the Eagles’ poor record, and more and more people wanting to see what Jalen Hurts could do, there is every possibility that the Eagles run the ball more often on Sunday than at any other point so far in the season.
Sanders, the former Penn State running back, has had a breakout season so far, and the Browns defense is ripe for the picking. The Browns have not faced the same caliber of running teams through the first nine games as they had in 2019 when they were gouged by the rush. Sanders, much like the Raiders’ Josh Jacobs in Week 8, could have the biggest game of his career and might have to if the Eagles hope to win.
