The Browns got the ball to begin the game and scored a touchdown to go up 7-0. After that, New England ripped off 45 unanswered in an ugly and disappointing game for Cleveland that dropped them back to .500 at 5-5. Let’s get to the recap.
The Browns got the ball first and saw a boost from RB D’Ernest Johnson, who ripped off runs of 5, 10, 24, and 19 yards to set up a 1st-and-goal from the 2 yard line. That’s when things got testy — a fullback direct snap on first down to Johnny Stanton went for no gain, TE David Njoku dropped a touchdown pass from QB Baker Mayfield on second down, and then Mayfield was nearly picked off on third down.
