1) Glad this game is in Denver with the mile high altitude and the fan's 12th man noise making.
2) Even in the win streak the Broncos have been lousy on 3rd down - and the Browns have been great on 3rd downs defensively - 3rd down will be a real key to this game.
3) The Browns have the rookie QB -and the Broncos have the turnover machine - that favors the Broncos
4) Denver has been able to control the clock with the run game - whether it is working well or not - they must control the clock in this game too.
5) Part of the tackling problem for Denver is they are trying to stand guys up and steal the ball away - let's just make tackles guys.
6) Ja'Quann McMillian reminds me of Tyrone Braxton in that he doesn't get much credit but really impacts the game on defense and comes up with timely turnovers. McMillian is worth the price of admission these days. He will be a factor this week against the Browns.
7) Lutz Ride - if you own Lutz in fantasy football - another big week ahead for him. The Browns stop offensive drives and have had the bad luck of good field position for the opposition to start drives. The recent trends of the Bronco getting into the red zone and kicking FGs is likely to continue.
8) The Broncos punt return game will be a crucial advantage in this game.
