The Denver Broncos (5-0) will be looking to preserve their perfect record for the 2015 NFL season as they play the Cleveland Browns (2-3) at the FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday, October 18.
Denver survived a tough fight against the Oakland Raiders last Sunday, coming away with a 16-10 win at the O.co Coliseum, via Fansided.
Aging quarterback Peyton Manning is seemingly content about playing average games so far, allowing his teammates to share the spotlight, and the responsibility, of trying to win games for the team this season.
Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. was the hero this time for the Broncos, converting a fourth-quarter interception into a 74-yard touchdown to put the game away.
Meanwhile, the Browns escaped with a 33-30 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday at the M&T Bank Stadium, winning for the first time in Baltimore since 2007.
Quarterback Josh McCown made 36-of-51 passes for 457 yards and two touchdowns to lead Cleveland, as per USA Today.
However, the 36-year-old signal caller finished the game with a hurt ankle and is uncertain of playing against Denver in Week 6. Backup Johnny Manziel will be a dependable alternative, though.
The Broncos are still favored to win this one and extend their winning run to six.
Prediction: Broncos win, 21-17.
