Browns vs. Titans: Week 14 Need to Know
Dawgs By Nature Dawgs By Nature

The Cleveland Browns play consecutive home games for the first time this season when they host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at Huntington Bank Field.

Cleveland is coming off another dispirited loss, this time to the San Francisco 49ers, as the offense could never find a rhythm in the second start with Shedeur Sanders at quarterback. The Browns have now lost seven of their past nine games.

The Titans are in a worse spot, having lost seven in a row and currently in the driver’s seat to have the No. 1 overall draft pick for the second consecutive season.

While it may not be a marquee matchup, there is still a reason to tune in as Cleveland defensive end Myles Garrett continues his chase for the NFL’s single-season sack record. The game will also provide a contrast between rookie quarterbacks, with Sanders going up against Tennessee’s weak defense and Cam Ward facing Cleveland’s highly rated unit.

It is the Browns vs. the Titans from downtown Cleveland, and here is everything you need to know about the game.
