There are only two games left in the Browns 2024 season, and I can’t wait for it to be over, that’s why I’m watching. Cleveland hosts Miami this Sunday at Huntington Bank Stadium, 4:05pm EST. Last week the Dolphins (7-8) beat the 49ers 29-17 and the Browns (3-12) lost to the Bengals 24-6. Miami is a 6.5-point favorite.

Browns Offense vs. Dolphins Defense

Cleveland ranks 25th in total offense (307.2 yards per game), 19th in passing offense (211.3 yards per game), 27th in rushing offense (95.9 yards per game) and 31st in scoring offense (16.3 points per game). Miami ranks 8th in total defense (312.9 yards per game), 11th in passing defense (210.9 yards per game), 6th in rushing defense (102.1 yards per game) and 10th in scoring defense (21.9 points per game). The Browns offense has scored under eight points in back-to-back games. Cleveland can’t do anything offensively right except to be offensive to watch. After running back Jerome Ford’s opening play 66-yard run, the team fumbled the ball going into the endzone. Second year quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was ineffective in the first half and threw two interceptions in the second half. Once again, the Browns face a top ten defense and scoring points will be difficult. The one saving grace for the Browns offense, last week the Dolphins allowed 49er QB Brock Purdy to throw for two touchdowns and 313 yards. Tight end George Kittle had eight catches for 106 yards and wide receiver Deebo Samuel had seven catches for 96 yards and a touchdown. Hopefully this will bode well for Browns tight end David Njoku (if he plays) and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. However, the Browns offensive line has to protect Thompson-Robinson, something they haven’t been able to do for any Browns QB. Any running game would help.

Browns Defense vs. Dolphins Offense

Cleveland ranks 19th in total defense (339.9 yards per game), 13th in passing defense (212.5 yards per game), 19th in rushing defense (127.4 yards per game) and 26th in scoring defense (25.3 points per game). Miami ranks 17th in total offense (327.9 yards per game), 15th in passing offense (222.1 yards per game), 24th in rushing offense (105.7 yards per game) and 23rd in scoring offense (20.3 points per game). Miami has scored 29+ points in four out of their last six games and six of their seven wins are against sub .500 teams. The Dolphin offense statically is middle of the road; however, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has weapons.  Wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are his primary targets and running back De’Von Achane is a threat to run and catch the ball. Cleveland’s defensive line will have to find a way to pressure Tagovailoa, they sacked Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow four times last week. But against the 49ers, Miami’s offensive line protected their quarterback incredibly well, allowing no sacks and only three pressures. The Browns secondary will have to do a better job than they did against the Bengals, where they allowed Burrow to throw for three touchdowns and have a QBR of 134.3. The Dolphins beat bad teams and right know Cleveland is a bad team.
