3 Bolds Predictions For Browns Versus Bears

The Browns desperately need OBJ back on the field with Landry going down.

Chicago has struggled to contain the passing game as seen by Matthew Stafford‘s 300-plus yard game in Week 1.

Hopefully, Cleveland can exploit that and use the return of OBJ to their advantage.

There is a good chance that Beckham sees a heavy volume of targets, assuming he suits up.

2. Mayfield Throws Multiple TDs

It has been a fairly average start to the season for quarterback Baker Mayfield.

The expectations were extremely high for him after his stellar 2020 campaign.

However, Mayfield has come out of the gate somewhat slow to begin the season.

He didn’t throw a touchdown versus the Kansas City Chiefs suspect secondary.

Then, Mayfield completed 19-of-21 passing attempts versus Houston, but finished with only one passing touchdown.

As already mentioned, the Bears have trouble containing the passing game.

The loss of Landry likely points to more emphasis on the running game.

However, the Browns still have plenty of weapons on offense and need to show it on Sunday.

Mayfield needs to come out slinging the ball and post a multi-touchdown game.

3. Myles Garrett Chases Down Bears

There are few pass rushers in the league that can make as much of an impact as Myles Garrett.

That is why the Browns gave Garrett a massive extension because they know he’s a cornerstone piece on defense.

Through two games this season, Garrett has eight tackles, three quarterback hits, and one sack.

Not exactly an ideal start to the season for him, but fairly decent numbers.

Hopefully, things will get better for Garrett in Week 3 against the Bears.

An offensive line that has already allowed six sacks through two games.

Now, they have to deal with former first-round picks Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney.

There is a good chance that eventually the Bears’ offensive line breaks down and gives up a few sacks.

The Browns defense might be forced to step up, while the offense gets used to life without Landry.

Cleveland needs Garrett to step up and be a leader and keep the Bears in check on Sunday.
