Anyone else nervous about the Browns?

I feel a bit more nervous after that Giants game, because I think the Browns can get to Burrow like how the Giants did. Their offense might get a boost with Chubb coming back as well. Our defense looked way better vs the Giants, but I'm still worried about our DL vs Chubb (if he's back). Watson has looked really bad, so hopefully he continues to look bad against us. I think we win the game, but the way we played against the Giants makes me way more nervous about this game.

I think this game will be similar to the Giants game.

Team with an elite pass rush and a really bad QB vs our team with a bad (but improving via health of the DT group) defense and an elite QB whose Oline is better than previous years, but still iffy against elite pass rushes.

The big X factor is Nick Chubb.

Will be give the Browns' offense the juice they need to perform better than the Giants did against our defense? Or will he be on a strict snap count coming off his second reconstructive surgery?

I also wonder if Watson has a resurgence simply because...this game has got to be his last chance, right? He is not that great against us as a member of the Browns, so this is a minor concern, but people backed into a corner occasionally respond.
