Browns Aim for Redemption Against Green Bay
Quarterback Insights
Joe Flacco has been leading the Browns’ offense, having passed for 489 yards over the first two games of the season. Despite ranking 10th in the league for passing yards, his touchdown-to-interception ratio sits at 2:3, showcasing some areas for improvement. With Deshaun Watson out due to injury, Flacco’s leadership and performance are crucial for the Browns moving forward.
Backup Dillon Gabriel saw limited action, contributing 19 passing yards and a touchdown in his sole game. As the second option, he provides some depth at the QB position, but Flacco remains the focal point for the offense. The Browns will rely heavily on Flacco’s experience against a tough Packers defense.
Running Backs & Offensive Strategy
The Browns’ ground game has been modest at best, with Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford leading the charge. Sampson has rushed for 35 yards and contributed significantly through the air with 11 receptions. Ford has added 39 rushing yards, indicating a strategy that involves short-yardage gains and pass-catching out of the backfield.
Quinshon Judkins has also shown potential with 61 rushing yards in his single outing. The rushing attack will need to elevate its performance against Green Bay’s defense to alleviate pressure from Flacco. Improving the run game could open up more opportunities in the passing attack.
Receiving Corps & Targets
Cedric Tillman has emerged as a key target for Flacco, recording 74 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Jerry Jeudy complements Tillman with 117 receiving yards on nine receptions, providing a reliable option downfield. The duo’s ability to stretch the field will be critical against the Packers’ secondary.
Tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has also been productive, with 111 receiving yards on 12 catches, becoming a dependable safety valve for Flacco. This trio needs to maintain their form to keep the Browns competitive in the passing game.
Defensive Outlook
The Browns’ defense has shown mixed results, with Myles Garrett leading the charge on the defensive line. Garrett has recorded 3.5 sacks in the first two games, emphasizing his disruptive presence. However, the team ranks 25th in opponent scores, allowing 435 points, pointing to potential vulnerabilities in the secondary.
With injuries impacting key players like Martin Emerson Jr. and Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, the Browns’ defense faces challenges in maintaining consistency. Improving their defensive execution will be vital against the Packers’ offensive unit.

Browns vs Packers Prediction: Over 41.5
The Cleveland Browns are set to play the Green Bay Packers at Huntington Bank Field. The Browns are currently 0-2 this season, struggling both offensively and defensively. Their poor performance history suggests they might concede significant points, especially against a well-performing Packers team.
The Green Bay Packers, under Head Coach Matt LaFleur, have started the season strong with a 2-0 record. Their offense last season ranked 8th in scoring, and they are likely to exploit the Browns’ defensive weaknesses. With the current total set at 41.5, the Packers’ offensive firepower is expected to push the score higher.
Historically, games between these two teams have been low-scoring, but the conditions are ripe for a different outcome this time. The Browns have been involved in over games 66.7% of the time in recent matches when the total was set at 42 or less. Coupled with the Packers’ offensive efficiency, this suggests a higher-scoring game than the line predicts.
Based on these factors, the prediction is for the total score to go over the set 41.5 points. A projected final score could see the Packers winning 28-17, surpassing the over threshold comfortably.
