Well, at least the field looks good, right?

The Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins are getting ready for a game that has the potential to be really sloppy. The forecast in Cleveland looks pretty awful, with consistent driving rain and nearly 50 mph wind gusts expected. Not exactly a great recipe for two offenses that have had pretty rough seasons.

The Dolphins come in after back-to-back losses to the Panthers and Chargers, while the Browns have dropped three in a row to the Lions, Vikings and Steelers.

As far as what might be a separating factor in this game, keep an eye on how things go when the Dolphins have the ball on 3rd downs. Can the Browns get off the field routinely? Miami has the third most efficient third down offense in the NFL this year, and they're also third best in the league at scoring touchdowns when they get inside the red zone.

There continues to be a lot of pressure on the Browns defense to carry an offensive that lacks consistent explosiveness. Largely, they've been able to handle that - Myles Garrett and company have given up the third fewest yards in the league this year. On the flip side, only the Bengals, Cowboys and Ravens defenses have allowed more points than Miami.

Maybe, just maybe, this can be a day where the Browns get rolling offensively.
