Monday night’s game is expected to be evenly matched.
Many football genius commentators reflexively dismissed the Cleveland Browns after the season opener, after they lost to a dominant Ravens team by 32 points, 38-6. Then the criticism grew louder five weeks later when a banged up Browns team was manhandled by Pittsburgh, losing by 31 points, 38-7.
