There are two important wrinkles in that matchup. Flacco faces the Jets’ premium pass defense on a short week. All were Browns wins where Flacco carried the offense. Joe Flacco has saved the Browns’ season, throwing for more than 300 passing yards in his last three games. New York will struggle to score between that and Cleveland’s high-end secondary. The Cleveland Browns’ pass rush has a trench advantage in this matchup. He’ll do that on a short week, on what looks to be a cold and rainy night. New York Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian will go from facing the league’s worst pass defense in Washington to one of the best in Cleveland. Let’s jump into every game on the Week 17 slate.
