This is what the Browns need to do to defeat the resurgent Broncos when they visit Empower Field at Mile High Stadium on Sunday.
Cleveland could lead 8-3 at the conclusion of Sunday’s play. If they were fully healthy going into their 11th game, that would be an amazing record. Nevertheless, given the current state of this 2023 group, that record would be extremely impressive.
You could argue that the Browns and Broncos are two of the hottest teams in the NFL when they play each other. Cleveland is only.5 games behind the leaders in the AFC North after winning five of their last six games.
Denver on the other hand started 1-5 and has won four straight to get back to .500. While it feels like the Chiefs have a firm grasp on the AFC West, the Broncos have found themselves back in the thick of the AFC Wild Card race and are playing for their playoff lives.
This four-game win streak that they are on has been powered by their defense. While they haven’t held teams all the way down, they are turning opponents over at an incredible rate. In their four victories, they have forced 13 turnovers including five against the Chiefs and four against the Bills.
The way they play and the way that they win is reminiscent of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Except, when the Broncos have the ball they have Russell Wilson at quarterback who is playing the best he has since becoming a Bronco.
