The Cleveland Browns secured their first win of the 2024 NFL season last week, edging out the Jacksonville Jaguars 18-13 to move to 1-1 ¹ ² ³. It wasn’t a pretty game, but a win’s a win, and the Browns will take it. Their offense, now led by Deshaun Watson, still hasn’t quite found its groove, but they did enough to outlast the Jaguars.
The Browns’ victory was a testament to their team effort, with all three phases contributing to the win ¹. This was a much-needed boost after a tough start to the season, and they’ll look to build on this momentum. With Watson back at the helm, expectations are high, but the offense still needs to find its rhythm.
Looking ahead, the Browns face the New York Giants next, and it’s shaping up to be an intriguing matchup ³ ⁴. The Giants are still seeking their first win of the season, so they’ll be hungry for a victory. The Browns will need to bring their A-game, especially against a Giants team that’s shown flashes of brilliance despite their 0-2 record.
The Browns’ defense, led by 2023 NFL Assistant Coach of the Year Jim Schwartz, will be key in containing the Giants’ offense ⁴. They’ve been stellar at home, allowing just 15.8 points per game, and will look to continue that trend. With the Giants’ offense capable of explosive plays, the Browns’ defense will need to be on high alert to secure another win.
