The Cleveland Browns players seem to think they're a playoff contender, but are they really?

On today's Cover 2: A podcast on the Cleveland Browns, Nate Ulrich explains why that just might be the case. With No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield on the field, fans in the stands are starting to take notice too.

Browns head coach Hue Jackson said he wants to hear even more from the fans following the team's signature win in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens. Against the Los Angeles Chargers -- a team the Browns beat two years ago -- Cleveland will need its fans to help against veteran star quarterback Philip Rivers.

Among other things on this episode, we also covered these topics:

- What to expect from rookie wide receivers Derrick Willies and Damion Ratley as they replace the injured Rashard Higgins.

- Maybe it's time for a little bit of praise for Jackson.

- The role Dontrell Hilliard will play after being called up from the practice squad.

- How a visit from Snoop Dogg could ground Jackson and his team.

- The keys to the game for the Browns against a talented 3-2 Chargers team with Rivers playing well this season.
