CARSON, California — Analyzing four key moments in the Browns’ 19-10 loss to the Chargers…
1. Another perfectly placed punt by Britton Colquitt pinned the Chargers to their own 4-yard line on their first offensive possession. They proceeded to march down the field, pile up 86 yards of offense and collect five first downs -- and came away with nothing.
The Browns defense, as it did throughout the first half, bent but didn’t break on a possession that took more than 7 minutes off the clock. Philip Rivers’ first incompletion, after completing his first seven passes, came on third-and-short, forcing the Chargers to attempt a field goal.
