The New York Jets play the Cleveland Browns on primetime television Monday night. It’ll be the second time in two seasons the Jets face off against the former No. 1 overall pick, Baker Mayfield. The Jets are off to a rough start this season as they are dealing with injuries to key players.
The Browns are off to slow start as well after losing 43-13 against the Titans. This matchup will end with one of these teams getting their first win of the season.
Cleveland Browns:
On paper the Cleveland Browns have one of the best rosters in the league, boasting talent like Baker Mayfield, OBJ, Jarvis Landry and more. The Cleveland Browns are entering this game with a chip on their shoulder after getting embarrassed at home last week. If the Browns plan on winning against the New York Jets, they better be prepared to air it out against a weak Jets secondary.
New York Jets:
The Jets have been dealt a rough hand this season suffering injuries to key players like Sam Darnold and C.J Mosely. The Jets will have to trot out Trevor Siemian against Cleveland which might not be such a bad thing. The last time Trevor Siemian started a game was back in 2017 when he was still on the Broncos. The Jets can use the lack of new tape on Siemian to their advantage. If the Jets want to win, they must be aggressive and play to win. If the Jets come out airing out the football, it might catch Cleveland by surprise.
Prediction
This game shouldn’t be close I believe the Cleveland Browns will come away with a comfortable win if they’re prepared for anything to happen. Unfortunately for Jets fans winning this game became a fantasy after losing Darnold earlier in the week to Mono. This game will end in a Browns win 33-10.
