Show notes
For the second time in less than a month, the Cleveland Browns are preparing to take on the Houston Texans.
Joe Flacco, Amari Cooper & Kevin Stefanski destroyed the Texans 36-22 in Week 16, but that matchup featured a Houston team without CJ Stroud and several other key players.
In a rematch just a few weeks later, which side has the advantage with the lessons learned from the first game?
At the moment, the Browns are relatively injury free heading into the playoffs. On the other hand, the entire Texans d-line hasn't practiced yet this year. Are the injury gods finally flipping the script and helping the Browns out?
Amari Cooper went for a league-wide season hgh 265 receiving yards against the Texans in the first matchup. Can he come close to that production again, or will Houston focus its entire defensive gameplan on the wiley vet? if that's the case, can Elijah Moore or David Bell step up on the outside and make plays in the passing game for Flacco?
Aditi Kinkhabwala and Bernie Kosar join the show to help us get ready for Saturday's Wild Card Round matchup against Houston.
Also, the Cleveland Cavaliers play the Brooklyn Nets today in Paris! Cleveland native John Fanta is calling the game from Paris, and just a short time before tip, he's calling into the show for a quick preview of the game.
