Sitting at 7-3 on the season, the Cleveland Browns have established themselves as competitors in the AFC despite playing over half of the season with a backup quarterback under center. This week, Dorian Thompson-Robinson and the Browns will take on the Denver Broncos, a team that has won four games in a row. This presents the Browns another opportunity for Myles Garrett and company to continue to establish themselves among the AFC’s elite.
The Browns currently sit less than a game back from the top of the AFC North leaderboard. They already have an over 80 percent chance to make the playoffs after rattling off three in a row and five of their last six games. With a win over another AFC opponent, the Browns can see those odds jump above 90 percent according to Sumer Sports. They have another opportunity to make a statement around the league.
As they look to move to 8-3 on the season with a win over the Broncos, here are five key points of emphasis to watch for the Browns.
