Who are the announcers and referees for Browns vs. Commanders today?
By Dean Jones
The Washington Commanders are looking to cement their status as the NFL's surprise package with another win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. There should be a positive atmosphere at Northwest Stadium after Dan Quinn's men racked up three-straight victories. But the most important thing above all else is keeping standards high and getting a fourth triumph of the season.
Cleveland isn't going to make things easy by any stretch of the imagination. The Browns might be sitting at 2-2 within a highly competitive AFC North, but they have the talent to give the Commanders a real run for their money. Quinn's squad doesn't have the luxury of taking things for granted in this early stage of their rebuild.
That won't go unnoticed by Quinn and his accomplished staff. They're experienced enough to know that winning three games doesn't equate to a successful season. Maintaining focus and ensuring nobody gets too ahead of themselves is the primary target, but there are enough strong characters in the locker room to be professional amid ongoing adulation.
The Browns have an accomplished defense. The Commanders have a genuine franchise quarterback in No. 2 pick Jayden Daniels. It's almost like the irresistible force meeting the immovable object, which only adds to the level of fascination surrounding the clash.
Positivity is building with every performance and victory. The Commanders are further ahead than even the brightest optimist envisaged before the campaign. That won't guarantee postseason football or even a winning record, but it's a solid platform nonetheless.
Washington is riding high and gaining positive national media attention along the way. That won't come completely crashing to a halt if they cannot beat the Browns. However, it'll rise exponentially if Quinn's unit can secure success versus a team that was expected to make the playoffs in 2024.
Before the game, let's take a look at who'll be in charge and on the call in Week 5.
