Following a third straight loss, the 3-3 Broncos head to Cleveland to face off against the 3-3 Browns. Both teams are clinging to life support in the AFC playoff picture, with schedules tightening up as we approach the colder months of the year. A win would help keep heads above water, while a loss would be devastating with a mini-bye before the NFL trade deadline.
On a short week with very little time to recover from week six action, availability is going to be huge tonight. As I write this, Teddy Bridgewater is expected to grit through foot and quad injuries to start at quarterback, while Justin Strnad and Micah Kiser will start at linebacker after Alexander Johnson was lost for the year.
