The Commanders took on the Browns in Cleveland Friday night, and snuck out victorious with a 17-15 win. If you are a fan of offensive football, this was not the game for you.
Washington was outgained by almost 100 yards on offense, lost the penalty and time of possession battles, and broke even in turnovers, yet still managed to make plays down by the goal line to keep Cleveland's first team offense out of the endzone early in the contest. This turned out to be the deciding factor in the game for Ron Rivera and company.
It was a mixed bag on both offense and defense, but that is to be expected in the first preseason game (this was the second for the Browns).
