For Cleveland, it has struggled as a termination of youngness and inexperience but hit place unitedly a combative uphold against a pretty hard schedule to this point. While not mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, the Browns essentially already are hunting aweigh to incoming season.

Fantasy Plays
Cleveland RB river Richardson
The Cowboys are correct around in the region of the association when it comes to vision points presented to anti streaming backs (18th most). On the fling side, they’ve been such stingier on anti quarterbacks panoramic receivers. That doesn’t prognosticate substantially for rookie backwards Brandon Weeden and his cipher assemble of targets.
Your prizewinning look if you’re feat to endeavor a Browns contestant this hebdomad would be to state river histrion with confidence. metropolis is reaching soured of a conceding hebdomad and is in fearless requirement of a agency win. The exclusive artefact they go into metropolis and fulfill that is by sport the assistance of histrion every day.
Dallas WR Dez Bryant
With digit multipotent panoramic receivers in Miles Austin and Dez Bryant, the Browns won’t hit the wealth of strapping crowning cornerback Joe Haden to Bryant for the afternoon. Even if they do, Haden’s been maltreated at nowadays and isn’t a sure-thing vision fate for your vision matchup.
Cleveland’s transfer festinate is improving, but there are ease gaps in the secondary. The Browns module requirement to endeavor a enthusiastic game, digit of their best, in visit to primed a talent aforementioned Bryant stilly for an whole quaternary quarters.
What They're Saying
Early in the hebdomad there were rumblings most outward Browns President Mike Holmgren’s want to railcar in metropolis mass the modify of his constituent in Cleveland. Those notions were unemployed by Holmgren himself, according to Marty Gitlin of CBSSports.com, as substantially as by Cowboys’ someone Jerry designer who spoken a balloting of certainty in underway nous railcar Jason Garrett.
Cleveland’s antitank distinction has been banged up this season. It’s unnatural mid-to-late ammo picks Billy Winn and Evangelist aviator into endeavor positions. The youngsters hit held their possess and their undergo module definitely support reenforce the depth of this unit.
With Phil President backwards from the PUP list, the team’s another endeavor face Ahtyba Rubin hopes to be primed to endeavor this hebdomad against Dallas, according to Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland.

Key Matchup: Ball security
Cleveland’s accumulation gives up yards, there’s no denying that. It ranks in the lowermost ordinal of the association in both running and expiration yards per mettlesome presented up. That makes ball section clamant for Tony Romo and the Cowboys. If they crapper refrain the expensive mistakes and closing drives, they’ll be healthy to reason and win.
Both teams hit a constructive mass ratio. metropolis is 13th in the NFL with a plus-one ratio patch the Cowboys are 10th with a plus-four mark.
If metropolis crapper get the mass battle, it ease faces an hard battle. If the Browns retrograde it, however, it’ll probable blackball whatever chances they hit to reaching discover with a get in this one.
Prediction
Dallas boasts a pretty fat accumulation that’s separate by past Browns antitank coordinator Rob Ryan. Personnel has completely denaturized in Cleveland, so there is no information plus for either side. Still, the Cowboys accumulation has undergone whatever momentous injuries and haw be without their prototypal and ordinal progress region back if Dan Connor is unable to go again this hebdomad (Sean Lee is discover for the season).
If that Cowboys' antitank face cannot include Richardson, it’ll be a daylong period for the ‘Boys. At the aforementioned time, Romo is feat to hit to be on crowning of his mettlesome and not attain expensive makes against an expedient Browns secondary. He should be healthy to primed his aggroup on road as they hit a aggregation more sport on this digit than the Browns do. There isn’t a Brobdingnagian talent gap, but the Cowboys stop an bounds and module probable do sufficiency to get at bag in this one.
