On paper, here are your key matchups/metrics:

1. The Texans Rush D is 32nd in the NFL giving up 159.5 yards per game on the ground compared to the Browns rushing for 150 yards per game (and with them rushing for 86 yards per game the last 3 games, it shows how good Nick Chubb is and how much their opponents have tried to sell out to stop this...it also shows how dominant they were on the ground their first 5 games this season).

Chubb is back this week, and reports say that he's close to 100%...so that's really bad news for Houston.

2. Houston is 6th in the NFL in passing yards per game and Cleveland is 24th in passing yards given up per game, which is probably only down because of how bad the Steelers beat them a few weeks ago and the fact that 9 days ago they played in a monsoon against the Raiders.

This is really bad news for Cleveland.

3. Houston is 23rd in the NFL in passing defense, and Cleveland is 29th in the NFL in passing offense.

This is somehow probably really bad news for both teams, albeit Cleveland at 29th in the NFL in passing is also an indicator of just how good they've been on the ground this year.

4. Turnover margin

Cleveland is 8th in the NFL in turnover margin/turnover margin per game at +4. The Texans are 26th at -4. Ironically, the Texans have actually only turned it over 9 times this season compared to the Browns 10 times, but the Browns defense, as bad as it's been, has been great at forcing turnovers, as the Browns are tied for 3rd in the NFL in takeaways, whereas the Texans are tied for last in the NFL with 5 takeaways.

This comes down to whether or not Baker Mayfield can take care of the football, assuming he clears the COVID list, and likely whether or not it's the Myles Garrett show like it has been...that Myles vs. Tunsil matchup will be critical, as well as our OT vs. the Texans DE.

Here’s the thing though, our coaching staff will prep all week to “establish the run” and we won’t let Watson start throwing until we are down 17-0
