CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It seemed that as many Ohio State fans were at FirstEnergy Stadium to watch former Buckeye Ezekiel Elliott shred the Cleveland Browns' flimsy defense as there were Browns fans rooting on the Winless Wonders.
As attendance, finally, after 17 years of feckless bumbling, dwindles, the visiting team's presence grows larger. So perhaps some were fans of the Dallas Cowboys, for whom Elliott toils in a fashion that has made the rookie the NFL leader in ground-gaining.
The Browns are not competitive against the good teams, not up to finishing the job against the bad ones, and seem incapable of such elementary tasks as looking down to make sure they are lined up properly.
