The 0-2 Cleveland Browns gear up with rookie quarterback Cody Kessler to take on the also winless Miami Dolphins.
Two winless teams take the field Sunday in South Beach for a battle of who gets to 1-2. All put aside, this has the making for a potentially low-scoring game. Cleveland is starting rookie quarterback in Kessler, and until the second half of last week, the Dolphins offense has looked everything short of imposing.
The Browns blew a 20-0 first quarter lead last week at home versus Baltimore. Miami’s late-game comeback in New England fell just short despite the Patriots quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leaving the game early in the second quarter.
Perhaps the most encouraging news for the Dolphins is the fact that they’ve played two of the bets defenses in football to open up the season. Seattle, who they lost to 12-10 in Week 1, shut down the Dolphins offense for most of that game. But if it wasn’t for this Kenny Stills drop, the Dolphins likely would have won.

First-year Cleveland head coach, Hue Jackson seems to have the players support as of now. There was talk these past two weeks that Jackson was drooling over trying to fix RG3 and molding him into the franchise quarterback that Cleveland has coveted since Bernie Kosar left in 93′. With RG3 out for a good chunk of time, Jackson can no longer worry about the project he had at hand, and now must figure out what the future solution is for the Browns at quarterback.

Miami’s new head coach, Adam Gase has yet to prove that he can make Ryan Tannehill a formidable NFL quarterback. Despite the 387 yards last week, he threw two costly interceptions, one in particular at the end of the game.
