The Cleveland Browns are preparing to take on the Las Vegas Raiders this Saturday on NFL Network.
The game is still on schedule despite recent word of the Browns going through a COVID outbreak. As of this point, 17 players and two coaches have tested positive for the virus.
Furthermore, Fox 8 Cleveland reports that head coach Kevin Stefanski is still going to coach the team until kick-off. This announcement from special teams coordinator Mike Priefer.
Ahead of the game, Cole Haro put the Browns 2 spots higher than last week in his Week 15 NFL power rankings.
This scenario is similar to the Wild Card Game last season in Pittsburgh. That being said, here are three keys for the Browns to earn their eighth win of the season.
- Let Nick Chubb Rumble: Chubb and D’Ernest Johnson are the only healthy backs on the Browns roster right now through this COVID situation. If Chubb can find some open room to run early, he can be unstoppable.
- Defense Needs to Get After Carr Early: If the team can find the success from the first half of Sunday’s contest, as a result, this unit could create some major havoc.
- Case Keenum Needs to Prove Himself: Keenum already has a win under his belt in the national spotlight for the Browns this season. He’ll have another opportunity, so he must stay calm in the pocket and not force anything.
