The upcoming Browns game, 11/6/2011

[Arky]

The 5-3 Texans will be hosting the Cleveland Browns this Sunday in a noon matchup. The Texans will be looking to go three games over .500 for the first time in team history. The Texans defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-14 last Sunday at home.

Cleveland is led by 2nd year QB Colt McCoy (1,618 yards, 9 TD, 5 INT, 76.4 rating) and may also utilize RB Peyton Hillis who is day-to-day with a hamstring injury. The Browns great strength is their defense which currently ranks 5th in total yards given up per game (2nd in passing but 26th in rushing). They can probably expect to see a healthy dose of the Texan running game. Cleveland is coming off a 20-10 road loss at San Francisco.
