Good evening Browns fans!! We are very happy to bring you good news!! Your Browns went into the house of the Bengals, and stole a win on the road! This was the NFL's Game of the Week. It was a tough one, but all the pieces came together, and fit right for the win! Offense was very lackluster through the air, but CJ put together one hell of a game! It's something we've been waiting for. He racked up 101 yards, and it is his first 100 yard game since week 1! The other big storyline was the defense. The big deal was it was Clinton-Dix's first game, and we will definitely get into how that went! Hartley kicked a last second 38 yard field goal to secure the win! Let's jump right into it!
The passing offense really left something to be desired. Cutler in his 3rd start hasn't played terrible, but this definitely wasn't one of his better games. He was efficient as he went 15/20 and 184 yards, but he threw 0 TD and had 2 INT. Anderson, however, had a huge game. He racked up 21 carries for 101 yards and 2 TD! He also broke 4 tackles along the way! The Bengals really had a hard time stopping him, and we are going to need him to continue that as we go into Kansas City and play the 5-1 Chiefs. Honestly, nothing else really stuck out on offense, and that is a problem which will be addressed in practice this week. Without CJ, the Browns do not win this game! Looks like it was the right move going after him in free agency!
The defense played well this week in the first half! They posted a shutout in the first half but began to look tired and weak in the 2nd half, which has been the constant with this defense. We need to keep that strong defensive front going all game long! In the 2nd quarter, Dansby, who is now playing LOLB with the departure of Barkevious Mingo, flew in to sack Andy Dalton, and LE Armonty Bryant came in for the Scoop N Score of 59 yards to go up 14-0!
