The Washington Football Team travels to Cleveland to take on the Browns in a Week 3 matchup at 1:00 P.M. on Sunday.

I could have written that lead differently. I could have written “The team with the fourth-worst record over the last decade takes on the team with the absolute worst record over the last decade in Cleveland, this Sunday, at 1:00 P.M.” That’s right. Because as bad as the Washington Football Team has been in the teens – winning just under 40 percent of their games – Cleveland has been significantly worse – managing to win scarcely more than 25 percent.

But Cleveland was better last year, and almost everyone would agree that the Browns have superior talent across the board. They are favored by about a touchdown. Here’s a look at the team the Washington Football Team will be taking on this Sunday.
