What happened: Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward is preparing for another matchup against New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson. The game pairs two former Ohio State first-round draft picks.

Why it matters: Ward has anchored the Cleveland secondary early in the season and recently staked his claim as the top cornerback in football. Wilson serves as a primary perimeter target for New York and will test the Browns' pass coverage.

By the numbers: Cleveland enters the game leading the AFC North with a 3-1 record, while New York looks to rebound from a 1-3 start.

What to watch: The Browns and Jets will play at MetLife Stadium on Sunday.
