Game Preview: New York Jets at Cleveland Browns
The New York Jets (2-5) travel to Ohio to face the Cleveland Browns (0-7) in a matchup of disappointing seasons, and poor quarterback play.
This week the disappointing New York Jets (2-5) take a trip to Cleveland to fact the Browns (0-7) in a battle of seemingly lost seasons. The Jets and Browns met last year to open the season, and the Jets won easily, 31-10.
The Jets have been torched through the air all season long, and their offense has yet to click the way it did when they put up 37 points on the Bills and gained 493 yards. They look to change their fortunes, and get the ball rolling against a putrid Browns secondary, and weak run defense. Cleveland’s defense ranks 31st in the league in total defense, look for the Jets to expose that.
The Browns are in full rebuild mode, again. They’ve had a lot of positives in the midst of a horrendous start such as; the development of Terrelle Pryor, the play of their younger players, and the culture change happening in the locker room. They’ve come so close to winning a game several times this year, but can’t finish. This may be their best chance for the rest of the year with a 39.3% chance to win via the Football Power Index.
This game has the makings of an ugly one. This could be a great chance for the Jets to finally gain some traction and work out their errors, and this could also be the best chance for Cleveland to avoid an 0-16 season. There are many possibilities, and an incredible opportunity for both teams.
