Week 2 – at Cincinnati Bengals
In Week 1, the Browns visit the Baltimore Ravens in a big match-up for both teams. If the Ravens win, they’ll come out feeling more confident than ever they can make it back to the post-season. For the Browns, a win in Baltimore signals the beginning of the coup in the AFC North.
However, it isn’t a must win in Week 1 for Cleveland. It’s a want to win, for sure. Not a must-win. The first must-win of 2020 comes in Week 2, in the home opener, hosting the Cincinnati Bengals.
Bottom line, the Bengals are at the bottom of the division, and they should remain there. If you’re going to be the best, or even second-best, in your division then you have to beat the basement dweller.
Joe Burrow would immediately become the King of Cincinnati if he goes into Cleveland and beats the Browns. No way Baker Mayfield can let it happen.
