Who plays on Thursday Night Football tonight? Broncos vs Browns - TV Channel, Time & Schedule
The Cleveland Browns are banged up and coming off one of their worst weeks in the mayfield" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-is-sponsored="false">Baker Mayfield era. The Browns lost on Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals, with ex-Broncos head coach Vance Joseph filling in for Kliff Kingsbury in a massive blowout. Baker Mayfield injured his shoulder and will require offseason surgery.
Mayfield's injury will prevent the quarterback from playing in tonight's game. Case Keenum, who was the Broncos' starting quarterback in 2018, will feature tonight vs. the Broncos. Keenum will be looking to redeem himself after spending most of the last two years quietly sitting behind Mayfield. Keenum would also like to take revenge against the Broncos in a primetime spot.
#Browns QB Baker Mayfield is expected to need surgery on his torn labrum following the season, sources say, the result of the hits he’s taken on his non-throwing shoulder. The belief is he can deal with it through the season, but incurring more damage would make it challenging.
The Denver Broncos are also banged up and coming off a blowout loss against an interim head coach. After losing to the Raiders in spectacular fashion, the team is looking to rebound after falling to 3-3 after a 3-0 start. To rebound, the Broncos will have to defeat the Browns in a primetime game.
Broncos fans are hoping the game resembles the 2018 Thursday Night Football game in which the Broncos eviscerated the Arizona Cardinals and quarterback Josh Rosen. For both teams, the game has a lot on the line as the loser will fall under .500. It's getting a bit late in the season to brush off a record under .500.
