Get Ready for Some Cleanly Executed Football

The Browns and Chiefs meet this Sunday in a contest that will no doubt determine who is itching harder for a high draft pick. But don’t expect it to be one of those entertaining games between equally matched bad teams, like the barn-burner that resulted when Cleveland visited Detroit a few weeks ago.↵↵No, this is going to be like the the 6-3 affair between Buffalo and Cleveland earlier this year, when Derek Anderson got the win despite completing only two of 17 passes for 23 yards. How am I so sure? Just look at the stats -- these are the two premier pass-dropping teams in the league.↵

↵↵⇥The Chiefs and Browns lead the league in dropped passes. The Chiefs have 39 drops, the Browns 36.↵↵↵Woof. The only way this game appeals to anyone besides the doomed souls fated to root for the Browns and the Chiefs is if they belong in some bizarro points-per-drop fantasy league. Thankfully, Braylon Edwards is no longer in Cleveland, or there might not be a completed pass in this game. And Dwayne Bowe is back - so there’s the possibility that athletic proficiency will be displayed.↵

↵↵Then again, the Browns are turning winning extremely ugly into an art. After all, they beat the Steelers last week with Brady Quinn completing only six of 19 throws. This one plays right into their hands. Which means they’ll probably drop it.↵
