Jets (2-2) at Browns (0-4)

TV: Sunday, 1, Fox (Sam Rosen, Ronde Barber, Kristina Pink)

The matchup: Most experts thought the Jets would struggle to win two games all season, but they’ve won two in a row because of their defense and efficient performanc­es by veteran QB Josh McCown. The Browns, the NFL’s worst team last season, haven’t shown much real progress. They have yet to hold a lead, and their -44 point differenti­al is last in the NFL. The Browns are getting burned by the short and intermedia­te passing game, and that’s all McCown and the Jets can do. If the Jets can turn some short passes into big gains, they’ll win their third in a row. The Browns expect No. 1 overall pick, DE Myles Garrett, to make his debut after a high ankle sprain kept him out of the first four games. Garrett is explosive enough to make an immediate impact.
