The Cleveland Browns will visit the New York Jets on Monday Night Football to close out week two of the season.

Both teams are coming off of hugely disappointing results in week one with home losses to bounce back from.

Cleveland came into the season as one of the most hyped teams in the league and on paper at least, one of the most talented.

But the offensive line is a weak point and it showed as the Titans dominated them at the line and that allowed their talented secondary to keep up with the Browns bevy of receivers all day.

In crunch time, QB Baker Mayfield wilted, throwing three straight fourth quarter interceptions and a close game turned into a 43-13 rout.

The Jets led the Bills 16-0 half way through the third quarter before Buffalo came all the way back for the win.

To make matters worse this week, QB Sam Darnold will sit out as he came down with mononucleosis. He’s likely to miss four weeks.

Backup QB and former Broncos starter Trevor Siemian takes over. In Adam Gase’s first as a head coach, the offense sputtered, putting up just 223 yards, 155 of that was through the air.

The Jets defensive coordinator is Gregg Williams who took over the Browns head coaching duties last year when Hue Jackson was fired. In spite his successful run, the permanent job instead went to offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens.

The Bottom Line: Cleveland is -7 point favorites and the over/under is 45 points. Both teams have a lot on the line and it’s a huge task for Siemian to step in under the spotlight. But he has experience having taken over for Payton Manning in Denver. I think the Jets and their talented defense can cover. The Pick: Browns 28-24.
