On Columbus Day, the Cleveland Browns will attempt to discover their identity for the 2008 season.
Are they the talented collection of players that many felt were playoff contenders in the AFC? Or are the Browns an over-hyped, underachieving group that might fail to duplicate the success of the 10-win 2007 season?
The Browns and the rest of the nation will get their answer when Cleveland plays host to the undefeated New York Giants on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" (8:30 ET). The Browns, with no expectations, surprised the league last season.
At 1-3, Cleveland enters this game as significant underdogs to the Giants, who have won eight in a row and an NFL-best 12 straight road games.
Anderson, who missed the end of preseason, hasn't been the same. He has twice as many interceptions (six) than touchdowns (three) and the NFL's worst passer rating (49.9) of any quarterback with at least two starts. The poor performance through four games has Anderson dangerously close to losing his starting job to 2007 first-round pick Brady Quinn.
