This is a big game for the Cleveland Browns.
After back-to-back losses, some of the shine has come off Cleveland's 5-2 start. A loss to the visiting Houston Texans would drop the Browns to .500, and while a 5-5 record may have looked OK to fans when the season began that hot start altered expectations.
Will the return of quarterback Deshaun Watson help get the Browns back on track and headed into the bye week at 6-4? Or will the Browns hit the off week on a three-game skid that could mean changes on both sides of the ball?
We'll have the answers to those questions and much more, with highlights, commentary and analysis from Sunday's showdown at Huntington Bank Field.
Maybe some ranting, too. You never know—losing streaks make me angry.

Wide receiver KC Concepcion is stopped just short of the line to gain, and the Browns are three-and-out again.
This game is not starting well.
Entering Week 10, the Browns had allowed five opening-drive touchdowns--most in the NFL.
Make that six.

Two short passes, one airmail, zero attempt to run the ball and a punt.
Texans get a nice return and excellent field position.
The brown uniforms are legitimately awful.
They look like they should be sponsored by Dude Wipes.
The good news is that wide receiver Denzel Boston is active against the Texans
The bad news is that a secondary that has already struggled at times will be down its starting deep safety in Ronnie Hickman.
