The Cleveland Browns need one major X-Factor to step up in order to beat the Dallas Cowboys.
with a huge opportunity. They can send a major message to the NFL that they're a team to be wreckoned with.
Deshaun Watson is the most notable player who needs to step up. After back-to-back poor seasons, Watson is entering a pivotal season for his NFL future. If he does not have a bounce-back year, there is a very good chance that Cleveland will start by benching him and then continue by bringing in a new quarterback.
With Nick Chubb out for at least the first four games of the year and likely a little longer, Cleveland will rely heavily on Jerome Ford. The 24-year-old running back will be the Browns' main X-Factor this week. Taking pressure off of Watson's shoulders is a major must for the Browns this season. Watson needs to play better, but he also needs opposing defenses to have to stay honest against the run. Ford is capable of making that happen.
