Browns vs. Commanders: A Crucial Showdown in the NFC North

Associated Press  

The Cleveland Browns travel to Washington to face the Commanders in a matchup of teams with opposite seasons going in opposite directions. The Browns are coming off a two-game losing streak, while the Commanders are just 5-17-1 at home against Cleveland. The key matchup is the Commanders pass rush vs. the Browns offensive line and Deshaun Watson. The Browns have struggled to score points in their first four games, but they have scored on their opening possession in all four games. Watson has shown improvement each week, but he took a sack on Cleveland's final play at the Vegas 9-yard line. The game is expected to be a close contest, and the outcome will have significant playoff implications.
