The Browns (1-3) are coming off of a 20-16 loss in which they shot themselves in the foot again, this time to the Las Vegas Raiders. Cleveland got off to another solid start, leading 10-0 in the first quarter. The Raiders dominated the next two periods and were ahead 20-10. The Browns controlled the fourth quarter and were on their way to a comeback win, until self-inflicted mistakes bit them again.
The Commanders (3-1) are coming off of a 42-14 demolishing of the Arizona Cardinals, and are arguably one of the hottest teams in football right now. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels has been terrific, completing 82.1% of his passes with a QB rating of 107.4. He also has 218 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns on the ground, leading them to the 5th-ranked offense in the NFL and only getting better.
The over/under for the game is 43.5.
