Could the Browns get their first win on Sunday?

The Cleveland Browns are 0-8, and the worst football team in the NFL. Having not won a single game yet, people might think I'm crazy when I say this, but, I think the Browns will get there first win against the 6-1 Dallas Cowboys. Here is why.

 A lot of people forget about the weapons that the Browns have on offense. For the past few weeks, rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman has been out with an injury. This week, he will be back, and will be playing alongside Terrelle Pryor, another one of its dominant receivers. Browns also have a very tall tight end in Gary Barnidge.  Cody Kessler is not a very good quarterback but when he has all of those receivers to throw to, the Cowboys' secondary will have a tough time.

The Browns backfield is also very talented. Isaiah Crowell hasn't been mentioned a lot this year. He has been playing very well. He is averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Duke Johnson is also a very dynamic back. He is more of a pass catching back than Crowell. If the Browns can balance out the run and the pass and make themselves unpredictable, I think they have a good chance of scoring a lot.

Defense will be a problem for the Browns. Dak Prescott has been playing some great football, but we have seen him make some mistakes in the past couple games. Ezekiel Elliot has been one of the best running backs in the league so far. And then you have all the pass catchers - Dez Bryant, Cole Beasley, and Jason Witten. As long as the Cleveland defense can get some stops, I think they will be fine.

For Cleveland, it hasn't been about lack of talent or bad coaching. Almost every game this year has been a close one. They just need to close out games. The reason why they're 0-8 is because they can't finish out games and I have a feeling it will start this weekend.

Prediction: Browns 23, Cowboys 19
