Fans had already expected this weekend’s Dolphins-Browns game to be a brutal watch, given how poorly both teams have been playing this season. But the weather could make it a lot worse.
The sides will face off at Cleveland’s Huntington Bank Field on Sunday and are heading into the fixture with a collective 2-10 record over six weeks, having won just one game each.
The home team is experiencing an identity crisis at quarterback, starting the season with Joe Flacco but puzzlingly trading him to the Cincinnati Bengals, who hit the QB market following Joe Burrow’s injury.
The move raised eyebrows, including in Pittsburgh, where Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin openly criticized the decision to deal the veteran away ahead of their game this weekend.
Flacco responded to the comments, suggesting that the Pittsburgh HC may have been employing some gamesmanship.
The Browns have named Dillon Gabriel their starter, with Shedeur Sanders now the backup. Fans who have been calling for him to play must surely feel like his time is coming.
Dolphins-Browns Game Could Be Affected By Storm
Miami knows who its starter is, but he hasn’t been very effective under center so far and may have distanced himself from the rest of the team by calling certain teammates out for missing player-only meetings.
They have also lost star wide receiver Tyreek Hill for the remainder of the season.
NEW: Dolphins-Browns game in Cleveland could have 50-60 mph wind gusts.
The National Weather Service says this is “certainly a system worth keeping an eye on” as a stronger storm may materialize.
The current forecast: 94% chance of rain, 36 mph gusts, and 65 degrees.
