The Browns just can’t seem to get on track for their first win. The continued injury issues at quarterback are clearly causing a lot of problems on offense. Today they face a defense that shouldn’t have much trouble stopping them. The Giants aren’t a dominant offense, but they should be able to get a comfortable lead early on the Browns.
