Two teams looking to climb up in the NFL standings after picking in the top 5 in April face off when the Browns host the Jets on Thursday night.

Gary Phillips from brother site Jets Wire kindly took some time to break down what the Browns are facing in the upstart Jets. Can the Browns finally break into the win column? Who should Browns fans be worried about? Is Sam Darnold legit? Find out all that and more …

The Jets looked great in Week 1 but flat in Week 2. Which was the real team?

Probably something in between. The Jets have more talent than people give them credit for, but a lot of that talent is really young. So that means growing pains, undisciplined play, silly mistakes, inconsistency, etc. are to be expected. This two-week stretch won’t be the last of its kind for New York this season.

How is Sam Darnold handling the spotlight and pressure?

He seems to be doing just fine. Even when things aren’t going great – he didn’t play as poorly as some people made his performance out to be last weekend – he’s as poised as they come. It’s pretty incredible given his age and the pressure/spotlight that’s on him, but nothing seems to faze the rookie.

Cleveland’s special teams have been terrible. Is that something the Jets are poised to exploit?

Maybe, maybe not. Going back to the first question, New York got a huge game out of its unit in Week 1, specifically Andre Roberts, but not much in Week 2. Special teams have always been an issue for the Jets and it remains to be seen whether or not that trend will continue this season. Cleveland should be a prime opportunity, however.

Who is one Jets player who doesn’t get enough credit nationally?

That would be Quincy Enunwa, who has done nothing but haul in passes since the start of the season. It’s understandable that he doesn’t get a ton of love after he missed the entire 2017 season with a neck injury, but that should change shortly. Enunwa is the perfect security blanket for Darnold and a versatile weapon that can line up all over the field. He’s a star in the making and a matchup nightmare.

Who wins and why?

The Jets will win this one if they move on from the conservative offensive game plan that held them back last week against Miami. Jeremy Bates never got the run game going early and called nothing but short, safe passes for Darnold. The rookie is capable of a lot more than safe, though. Look for the Jets to recognize that and air the ball out a little more against Cleveland’s secondary.
