The Arizona Cardinals will host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in a game between teams who likely won't be playing beyond December. Despite Cleveland's disappointing record, Kliff Kingsbury understands that the Browns have the talent to defeat anyone in the league.
“It’s not difficult to scout, simply because you can show your team those two big wins that they had,” he told reporters on Wednesday. ‘They looked as dominant as any team in the league when you’re talking about the Baltimore and Buffalo games. You point to those and say, ‘This is what they can be, so we better prepare for that.’ I wouldn’t say it’s difficult. You always prepare for their high end, and when they’re playing like that, they’re as talented and as good as anybody in the league.”
The Browns are 6-7 and have looked out of sorts for the majority of the season. At the same time, they were the last team to take down the Baltimore Ravens and also prevailed over the Buffalo Bills nearly a month ago.
As a result, Kingsbury is preaching to his team that Cleveland has a better roster than their record indicates. If the Browns played as they have in recent weeks, it's possible they'd be positioned to make the postseason.
For the Cardinals, all three of their wins came against the Cincinnati Bengals, Atlanta Falcons, and New York Giants. Altogether, those three teams have a combined record of 7-32.
Provided that, a win over the 6-7 Browns in Week 15 would give Kingsbury the most impressive victory of his young coaching career.
