NFL football is a war of attrition and oftentimes the teams left standing at the end are also the most healthy. That’s troubling news for the ailing Broncos and Browns, destined to clash on a short week following devastating injury news in their most recent games.
Already struggling to live up to expectations, the Fangio defense will head to Cleveland down to their third and fifth string linebackers in the starting lineup after a season-ending injury to Alexander Johnson landed him beside Josey Jewell on Injured Reserve. Once there, they’ll face off against a Browns offense that could be down to a backup quarterback, running back, and offensive tackles.
