What happened: The Cleveland Browns hold first place in the AFC North after a recent victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, giving the team a stress-free Sunday off. In the latest edition of the Dawg Chow, the team is managing trade speculation surrounding veteran wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and rumors involving Shedeur Sanders.

Why it matters: Sitting atop the division changes Cleveland's outlook as the trade deadline approaches, potentially shifting them from sellers to buyers. Edge rusher Jared Verse has added edge to the renewed rivalry with Pittsburgh, while quarterback Deshaun Watson's late-game execution has helped stabilize the offense.

What to watch: Cleveland will monitor Sunday's early matchups to see if Cincinnati or Baltimore can tie them atop the division.
