Cleveland Browns (3-1) vs LA Chargers (2-1), Sunday at 4:05 P.M. ET

The Cleveland Browns will head on the road in week five as they go to Los Angeles to play the Chargers. It will be interesting to see how this club responds after a tough offensive performance against a bad Minnesota Vikings team. There really shouldn’t be any major concerns but they did not look as strong as their first handful of games in 2021.

Going across the country and winning a game is never easy but the Browns will try to do that against a good Chargers team. LA is a young squad that seems primed for a potential playoff spot after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs over a week ago. This is no slouch and it will be a big test for the away club.

Cleveland is still a really solid club and they complement each other well. They rely on certain aspects of their game to make others work. Expect the offense to rebound after a poor performance this past weekend. That might not be enough as the Chargers are playing well behind their young quarterback, Justin Herbert.

They have weapons on offense and their defense is starting to pick up as well. They do play on Monday Night against the Las Vegas Raiders so that gives the home team another disadvantage in this one. This should be a fun game to watch as these offenses duel it out.
