Ten teams in the NFL have started the 2008 season at 0-2 and unfortunately the Cleveland Browns are one of them. The Browns, losers by scores of 28-10 vs. Dallas and 10-6 to Pittsburgh, face a must win @ Baltimore on Sunday. While the Browns are not the only team facing a must win situation (Brett Favre & the NY Jets apparently face a must win situation according to NJ.com), the odds are highly stacked against 0-3 teams and making the playoffs.
Baltimore had an extra week off to prepare for the Browns as they sat at home last weekend after the Ravens’ game @ Houston was postponed due to Hurricane Ike,while Cleveland comes off the Sunday night loss at home against Pittsburgh. If the Browns are going to get back on track it would be nice to start with QB Derek Anderson who has completed just over 51% of his passes in two games for 1 TD and 2 INTs. While star WR Braylon Edwards has not helped by dropping as many balls as he has caught, getting the passing game going should help RB Jamal Lewis who has just 100 rushing yards in two games and a 3.1 ypc average.
The Browns (0-2) and Ravens (1-0) face off in Baltimore on Sunday @ 4:15 pm ET, and fans can find Cleveland Browns jerseys & apparel online through DFN Sports.
