ABOUT THE BROWNS (4-6-1): Mayfield was on fire in wins each of the last two weeks, combining to complete 36-of-46 passes for 474 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions. “As the experience continues, the comfortability grows,” Mayfield told reporters. “Really nothing else to that. As I see more looks and more things, I’m going to be more comfortable. I just got to go out there and do my job.” Mayfield benefits from an offensive line that did not allow a sack in either of the last two contests and a running game that features rookie Nick Chubb, who totaled 337 yards from scrimmage and four TDs in the last two games.
ABOUT THE TEXANS (8-3): Houston set a franchise record with 281 rushing yards in Monday’s 34-17 drubbing of the Tennessee Titans, led by Lamar Miller’s 162 yards on 12 carries. “(The running game) just opened up the whole offense,” Watson told reporters. “The safeties get aggressive. The defense has to show what their hand is. That was the challenge tonight for our offensive line and the running backs to kind of set the run game and open up the pass game. That’s what we did, and if the run game is clicking, we’re going to make sure we’re going to stay rolling with that momentum.” Watson added 70 yards and a score on the ground to go with a pair of passing TDs and did not turn the ball over after tossing a pair of interceptions in the previous game.
