The Cleveland Browns will start to pick up the pieces on Wednesday as they prepare for their home game against the Baltimore Ravens.
After three straight Victory Mondays, the Browns are back to dealing with adversity after Sunday’s depressing loss to the New York Jets.
Cleveland can’t run the ball, key players are dealing with injuries, and everyone is now calling for someone, anyone, to please lend quarterback Deshaun Watson a hand so he doesn’t try to play hero ball.
Being back at home should help, even if the game is against the first-place Ravens, as Cleveland has won three of the last four home meetings against Baltimore.
Win, and everything calms back down a few days. Lose, and, well, we all know the direction that discussion will head toward.
For now, let’s all try to stay positive and head into the day with the latest edition of the Daily Dawg Chow.
