Josh Cribbs Calls Out Browns Defense Ahead Of Raiders Matchup

Cleveland visits the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4, and though the Raiders are not a juggernaut, and will be without superstar receiver Davante Adams, they do have some offensive talent in wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and rookie tight end Brock Bowers.

The Browns have defensive standouts such as cornerback Denzel Ward, linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and pass rusher Myles Garrett, but they rank just 20th in points allowed and aren’t forcing turnovers.

Last season, they were tied for fifth in forced turnovers and for third in interceptions.

With star running back Nick Chubb still sidelined after last season’s devastating knee injury, and quarterback Deshaun Watson playing like a faint shadow of his former Pro Bowl self, the Browns will have to win with defense in order to make the playoffs again.

With difficult games coming up, including two against the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland has plenty to figure out and not much time to do so.
