Justin Herbert and the Chargers head to Cleveland in Week 5 to take on Nick Chubb and the Browns.
The two teams both come into the game at 2-2, but they have vastly different expectations for the rest of the season.
For the Browns, two wins in their first four games represents a fairly decent start to the season. They have a tough road to making playoffs, especially given the strength of their division and being without Deshaun Watson until December.
However, that 2-2 start came against arguably four of the worst teams in the NFL right now: The Panthers, Jets, Steelers and Falcons. The Falcons ran all over Cleveland's defense last week, a worrying sign considering that should be one of the strengths of the team.
The biggest bright spot in the first few weeks has been Nick Chubb, who is averaging over 100 yards per game on the ground this season. He'll need to keep it up if the Browns have any hope of hanging with Herbert and the Chargers.

Speaking of Herbert and the Chargers, the AFC West team got back on track with a 34-24 victory of their own last week against the lowly Houston Texans. Herbert turned in a good performance with 340 yards and 2 touchdowns, while Austin Ekeler also exploded for 3 total touchdowns.
It was a much-needed win after a difficult 1-2 start to the campaign which included a brutal 38-10 home loss to the Jaguars in Week 3. Unlike the Browns, many had high expectations for the Chargers this year, and they'll be looking to keep the momentum going with a road W in Cleveland.
