Browns ‘Can Take the Chiefs!’ Bold Prediction

The Cleveland Browns are trying to get to the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time in 35 years. With arguably the league’s best defense and the Defensive Player of the Year disrupting opposing offenses, it will be up to quarterback Deshaun Watson to return to form and lead them there.

On Friday, ESPN’s Evan Cohen, host of “ Unsportsmanlike Radio ”, made a shocking revelation and bold prediction for the Brownies this season.

"You gotta beat the crap out of the Chiefs, you gotta keep Patrick Mahomes off the field," Cohen explained. "You gotta have a really good defense that can attack him and that can cover receivers. The Cleveland Browns when healthy have an awesome offensive line.

“The Cleveland Browns when healthy have awesome running backs. The Cleveland Browns only need average quarterback play."

Watson is reportedly coming off the best offseason he’s had in a long time. He has worked harder than ever before to get healthy following season-ending shoulder surgery a year ago.

Behind stout defense and really good offensive weapons, Watson has a chance to return to something close to his former MVP candidate self. If he can, the Browns can go a long way.

"I don't know why I keep coming back to this,” Cohen concluded. “I think the Cleveland Browns are the one team that could actually take the Chiefs out."

The two teams will meet in Week 15 for what will likely be two teams battling for playoff seeding. The game will be held in Cleveland on Dec. 15 at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland. … but of course, they might want to focus on Sunday’s Week 1 against the visiting Dallas Cowboys.
