The Cleveland Browns will be without quarterback Deshaun Watson for the second straight game as they host the undefeated San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Cleveland will start veteran P.J. Walker in place of Watson after rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson showed he just wasn’t ready and struggled less against the Ravens.
There is a chance that the weather is nasty on the lake on Sunday and that would help even the playing field for Cleveland. The 49ers are good but I do not think they are unbeatable and the Browns’ defense is very good. The defense will have to play lights out to get this win but they have shown that they can do so.
It will be a tough game but the Browns could grind it out and win in a low-scoring game especially if the weather is bad. They have the talent on defense to pressure Brock Purdy like he hasn’t been so far this year.
Here are this week’s bold predictions for the Browns as they face San Francisco.
