You had the feeling it could get ugly this week against the New England Patriots and a very motivated Tom Brady, making his season debut following his four-game suspension. Hue Jacksons club was outgained by 216 yards in the first half (321-105) and trailed 23-7 at intermission on the way to the 20-point setback. Rookie quarterback Cody Kessler was injured and replaced by veteran Charlie Whitehurst. The Cleveland ground attack managed a paltry 27 yards on 22 carries and the Browns attack finished with 262 yards on the afternoon. Jacksons club wound up surrendering 501 total yards on Sunday and allowed at least 30 points in a game for the third consecutive week.

Next Week: The Browns head south to Nashville to square off against a Tennessee Titans team coming off a 30-17 victory at Miami. This will mark the third consecutive year that these two franchises will square off, with Cleveland winning each of the last two meetings including a 28-14 home victory last season in Week 2.

Playoff hopes: Are you kidding? No team in NFL history has ever reached the postseason following a 0-5 start. And the Browns are chasing everyone these days given the fact that they are the lone winless team in the league. The teams biggest concern these days is who will be the starting quarterback at Nashville next Sunday against the Titans.
