This Sunday, the (6-9) Cleveland Browns will travel to Landover, MD to take on the (7-7-1) Washington Commanders. Kickoff will be at 1:00 PM EST inside FedExField. Both of these teams suffered a loss last week, but I am expecting them to come out aggressive in this game.

The Browns are coming into this game after falling to the New Orleans Saints, 17-10. They struggled with the ball in their hands, as they couldn't consistently move the ball enough to cover the spread. They will have to be more efficient in this one if they want to challenge the Commanders on the road.

The Washington Commanders are entering this matchup after losing to the San Francisco 49ers, 37-20. They struggled on the defensive side of the ball, as they couldn't consistently stop the Niners in that game. They will have to be better against the run in this one if they want to take care of business at home.

The Cleveland Browns are currently in last place in the AFC North, as they trail the Cincinnati Bengals by five games. On offense, they are scoring 21.5 points per game and they are averaging 355.1 total yards. This is the 14th most points scored and the 10th most yards averaged per game. Deshaun Watson will start at quarterback, as he has thrown for two touchdowns and three interceptions in his first four starts. The Browns are also throwing for 207.7 passing yards per game, which is the 22nd most in the NFL. Amari Cooper is the leading receiver for Cleveland, as he has caught 73 passes for 1,004 yards and seven touchdowns. The Browns have also shown that they can consistently run the rock. They are averaging 147.3 rushing yards per game, which is the fifth most in the entire league. Nick Chubb is the lead back, as he has recorded 1,344 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.

On defense, Cleveland has struggled to consi stently stop their opponents. They are currently surrendering 22.9 points per game and 335.9 total yards. This is the 21st most points allowed per game and the 16th most yards. They have also struggled against the run, as their front seven hasn't made enough plays. They are allowing 134.3 rushing yards per game, which is the 25th most in the NFL. Grant Delpit has been the top performer on this side of the ball, as he has recorded 67 tackles and two interceptions this season. The Browns have been better against the pass, though. They are only allowing 201.5 passing yards per game, which is the eighth least in the league, as they have shown that they can cover on the outside.

Injury Report: Demetric Felton Jr. RB (Illness), John Johnson III S (Thigh), Jedrick Willis Jr. OT (Back), Amari Cooper WR (Hip), and Jadeveon Clowney DE (Head)  are all out.
