Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon had an impressive return to the field in Sunday’s loss to the Chargers, but a breakdown of the passes thrown to him shows it could have been much more memorable.
Basically, DeShone Kizer picked the wrong day to give up throwing accurate passes.
Gordon had 13 passes thrown his way. Four were completed. Of the nine he didn’t catch, eight were simply bad throws, though two were negated by penalty. In order, here’s how the throws went:
First quarter:
First-and-10, Browns 19-yard line -- On the game’s first play, the Browns ran play-action and Kizer hit Gordon on a slant for nine yards.
