One news source has reported that Mayfield and Keenum are ruled out for tonight's game.  Nick Mullins will start at QB.  John Johnson III is back as safety.  

Apparently, the Browns could be atop the AFC North with a win against the Raiders.  Not much has been said about the Raiders on here, perhaps because of the chaos created by Covid, but they are a beatable team.  They have an interim Head Coach and the QB, Derek Carr, has good stats but only has one winning season.  The Raider defense is near the bottom of the NFL against the run.  Let's say that the Brown's defense plays well, how much will the offense need to do?  The Browns can find a way to win this game, even with a third string QB.  TE Njoku is back giving Cleveland two legit TE targets fior an offense that relies on TE play.  Peoples-Jones and Higgins are WR targets.  Anthony Schwartz, who had been ruled out for Saturday's game due to concussion protocol, has been cleared from concussion protocol and is now listed as questionable for today's game.  

I predict the Browns find a way to win.

The bold is the issue to me and why I will be rooting for the Raiders.

I also see the NFL changed their COVID testing policy to testing much less and adding masks.  What a joke NFL!

I think even with a Browns win the Bengals would still be atop of the division because it would then be a 3-way tie and the first tie breaker is AFC North wins and the Bengals currently have the most.

So far the Raiders lead 7-0 early in the 2nd quarter.

Raiders are up 10 to 0 but the Browns have the ball.

Raiders 10 Browns 7

They just gave Mullens a ton of time on that 4th and 5 TD pass, and the Browns take the lead by 1.

Big pressure on the Raiders now. 

Browns 14 Raiders 13
