Texans Coach Gives Interesting Answer About Playing Browns in Cleveland

The Cleveland Browns will be taking on the Houston Texans this week, hosting their AFC counterparts.

Cleveland is coming into the game with a record of 5-4 on the year, with the team losing last time out to the New Orleans Saints. The Browns fell to the Saints in overtime, with backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders getting the start.

Normal starter Deshaun Watson was out due to a concussion, and Sanders filled in well for him, even in the loss. But this week, Watson is healthy and the Browns will be going back to him as they try to end the losing streak.

As for the Texans, they will be coming into the game with a record of 3-5 for the year, slowly putting everything together on the field. Houston got off to a very poor start to the season, but the team has now been building back up over the last few weeks.

The Texans were expected to be a top team in the AFC this season, but inconsistent play has doomed them. Both Houston and the Browns have seen this take place, making this matchup very interesting in the conference.

Ahead of the game, Texans special teams coordinator Frank Ross was asked about his team having to play at Huntington Bank Field this week. With there expected to be poor weather in the Cleveland area this week, the two teams may need to adjust to how the game gets played.

But within Ross's answer, he showed major excitement for going to play the game in "bad weather". Either way, it seems that the Texans will be ready for the game no matter what, even if weather plays a factor.

With the Browns going back to Watson this week, the hope is that the veteran can get this team back on track. Watson has done enough to win games this season, putting the Browns into a position to go after a playoff spot.

But there were some calls for Sanders to get the nod again, and the leash on Watson may be shorter than usual. If Watson can't deliver this week, the Browns may go back to Sanders for their next game, putting more pressure on the veteran to find success.

Either way, this team remains in the playoff hunt, and this game against the Texans will tell a lot about the resiliency of this group. Cleveland has the talent, but this team has to learn how to win games throughout a long regular season.
