Let's talk about the Browns

They have every reason to win.

Both teams coming off short week so that excuse is nullified.

1.  Bengals are a better team.

2.  This is a chance to start rewriting the big stage game franchise nemesis that's plagued them, by winning more than just once out of 4 or 5 games.

3.  They have a chance at 'home field' revenge. (Yes, they got revenge at their house last year, but the Browns DID come into their house and embarrass them.)

My concern is they had huge incentive last year to beat them, with the Devon Still thing going on, and failed miserably.

The difference, this year is, so far, they have shown that mental toughness, which I don't think they had a complete handle on until this year.

I'm hoping the mental toughness can shine through, once again!

They had a bad day offensively last week and still willed their way to win.  That's where mental toughness takes you.  And this mental toughness has been on display every week this season.  I don't think it's going away. 

They have a very firm grasp on what it takes to win and  the belief that no matter what happens, they will still get the job done.  They truly believe.  All the mental and physical pieces have come together.  Marvin and his team kept looking until they found the way.  And this feels built to last too.

Last year's Thursday night debacle is a distant memory.
