As the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears are set to square off in Week 3 of the NFL season, we are reminded that matchups can make games interesting even if there is a talent disparity. With Browns Vs. Bears, there is a talent disparity as the home team clearly has better talent than the visitors.
The matchup, however, could create a more interesting game. The Bears offense has used short passes and a consistent run game as their staple. The Browns defense has allowed their first two opponents to complete a lot of short passes and often seems to invite run plays.
That combination could keep the game much closer than many think. Then again, the Browns lost in Week 1 and struggled in the first half of Week 2. Perhaps they are motivated to put on a show in Week 3.
In our weekly preview series, Alyssa Barbieri from Bears Wire joins Jared Mueller from Browns Wire went deep into the matchup to determine who has the advantage at the five key factors for winning football games in the NFL.
