Browns Dominate At Home
Hello again #BrownsNation! At the midway point your Browns are 3-5, not where we want to be, but we saw a dominating performance today! Your team returned to the Dawg Pound this week as they took on the Cardinals. It was a heartbreaking loss to the Rams the week prior, as Johnny scored enough points to win, but the defense was a real let down.... Not this week. The defense dominated. They only gave up 120 yards, and held the Cardinals to only a field goal after a 1st and goal. Kruger was back in the lineup after missing 4 weeks with a broken rib, and did he ever make a difference. Kruger finished with 3 Tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 INT to seal the victory! Your front 7 only gave up 23 yards on the ground, after Gurley scored 4 rushing TD's on them the week prior. The Cardinals came into the game on a win beating division rival the Baltimore Ravens. This win pushes your Browns to 3-5. The Ravens are 5-2, and if the Chargers somehow come away with the win this week, you'll have the Ravens at 5-3, with one more game between these 2. It's not crazy to say the Browns still might have a chance this year after the slow start. If Manziel continues how he played today. It could be very attainable! Let's check out the game highlights:
Gordon seems to be on a mission this year. He was just locked up into a 4 contract extension, and he grabs his 8th touchdown of the year. Fantasy owners love this guy, he is almost guaranteed a touchdown every game! Look out for Gordon, as it seems he is only getting better!
