Brown BLog Predicts
Sunday October 18 - Browns Steelers
Ribfest 2020 - Baker's ribs might be the story to this rivalry game!
Baker Mayfield has unquestioned grit and toughness. It has made him who he is.
As fans we tend to assume that once a game begins, pain killers and adrenaline help a player perform at peak level, but even a minor rib cage injury can be tough to play with. I worry Sunday that Baker is going to be severely limited, especially after taking a few hits.
,
The bottom line this week is that even with Baker healthy, I am convinced that the Steelers win at home on Sunday. They are just far deeper than our Browns.
The formula for the Browns to win Sunday is to win the turnover battle AND outscore Pittsburgh. With Baker healthy, I could be convinced of a small chance of a Cleveland win but with Baker nursing what is clearly a tough injury, I feel certain the Steelers take this one Sunday.
No doubt, Baker will start and play but would not be surprised at some point if Keenum has to come into the game. Regardless of who is pulling the trigger at QB, the Browns will run a lot and go to their Tight Ends more than they have at any point this season. With Baker limited, there will be times when the team cannot move the ball and that will be the difference. Big Ben remains one of the best and he has tons of weapons to exploit a battered Browns defense.
This game will look a lot more like week 1 vs Baltimore - not close..
