The Cleveland Browns are facing significant challenges as they prepare to play the Jacksonville Jaguars, following a disappointing 33-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled in his return from shoulder surgery, raising concerns about his ability to lead the team effectively. The Browns will also be without key player David Njoku due to an ankle sprain, compounding their offensive issues. Meanwhile, rookie Brian Thomas Jr. of the Jaguars impressed in his debut, signaling potential trouble for the Browns' defense, particularly against All-Pro pass rusher Myles Garrett. The Raiders, also struggling with defensive issues, are set to face the Baltimore Ravens, where they must improve their run defense to contain Lamar Jackson. Coach Antonio Pierce acknowledged the need for significant improvements after their recent loss, emphasizing the importance of effective defensive strategies against dual-threat quarterbacks.
