What the Broncos are saying about the Browns
Cleveland will travel to Denver for the first time since 2019
On Sunday at Empower Field at Mile High, one of the winning streaks—the Browns’ three games or the Broncos’ four—will end. With a victory, the Browns and the Ravens will share first position in the AFC North.
Let’s see what the Broncos had to say this week on their upcoming Week 12 encounter with the Browns.
I know of him. I think [General Manager] George [Paton] worked with him. I’ve never worked with him, but shoot, he’s done a great job. I’ve heard nothing but good things about him. I’ve had guys like [former Vikings Head Coach] Mike Zimmer, who I know very well, he worked with. I think he’s done a good job there in Cleveland. Again, he said some adversity with injuries. It’s a completely different opponent than last week relative to what they do on both sides of the ball and even in the kicking game. This is an important week.

We have to find a way to beat a really good Browns team at home. They been playing very great ball and beaten a lot of great teams in our league. We have a challenge set out for us. They have a lot of athletes on the offensive side that can cause us trouble on defense.

Cleveland’s defense flies around. Myles Garrett is a tremendous football player. He’s playing some of the best football in the NFL. I have a lot of respect for him. He’s tough, physical, fast, athletic and can do everything. They got a lot of great players on the defensive side. Denzel Ward is a great player. They have experience at corner. They have linebackers flying around. It’s a really good defense.
QB Russell Wilson on the Browns defense

He’s right there. He’s playing at a high level. He’s smart, he’s talented and he has every one of those traits that you’re looking for. His get-off is fantastic. He’s battling chips and nudges and all those things. He’s having a great season. They’re playing really good defense. They’re first in the league in a lot of categories. He’s something else.
