Force Turnovers: The Browns defense has been better than expected this year, and they’ve had some unlikely heroes step up and create turnovers. If they can recreate last year’s assault on Mariota then they can force him into some turnovers and get the job done.

Run The Ball: The Browns need to be able to run the ball against a weaker Titans defense in order to get their offense working. They need Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson Jr. to step up Sunday to establish the play action pass and get the defense to respect the pass.

Protect Cody Kessler: Cody Kessler’s playing with a rib injury this week, and he needs to be well protected if they want to keep this one close. If Kessler gets hurt, then Kevin Hogan, who was on the practice squad, or Terrelle Pryor will take the snaps. That’s a loss the Browns can not afford.
