Dawgs By Nature
Cleveland closes out a three-game road trip against Philadelphia desperate for a win. Here is everything you need to know about the game.
The Cleveland Browns finish their three-game road trip on Sunday when they take on the Philadelphia Eagles.
So far, the trip has gone about as well for the Browns as the Griswold’s journey to Wally World in 1983 as Cleveland has dropped a close game to the Las Vegas Raiders and a blowout to the Washington Commanders.
Sunday’s game against the Eagles is Cleveland’s last chance to right the ship before returning home for three consecutive games in front of what is becoming an increasingly frustrated fanbase.
The situation is not that much better for the Eagles as they have had the past two weeks to stew over an ugly loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Can the Browns finally get back into the win column before the season completely gets away from them? Or will the Eagles close out a clean sweep of NFC East Division teams against Cleveland?
It’s Browns vs. Eagles from Lincoln Financial Field and here is everything you need to know about the game.
