Browns’ injuries and morale

The Browns currently have two of their best players dealing with lingering injuries — DT Sheldon Richardson and DE Olivier Vernon — two players who should prove critical to Cleveland’s efforts in containing the Lamar Jackson and Baltimore’s rushing attack. While no players are ruled out for the game, not having some of their best defensive players at 100% certainly won’t improve the Browns’ chances on Sunday.

On top of those injuries, Clevelands’ morale just doesn’t seem to be in great shape right now. Leading the disfunction is talk that players were actively asking opponents to “get them out” of Cleveland.

When you pair a team that doesn’t seem to have any heart left against one that overwhelmingly does in the Ravens, you get some solid starting ingredients that help any recipe for a one-sided victory.
