4 Downs: Baby steps taken by Browns’ offense vs. Cardinals; leap still needed

The Browns got another win on the season as Deshaun Watson played it safe in his return, and as Jim Schwartz routed the Cardinals.

It was not overly pretty, but at the end of the day, a team like the Cleveland Browns did exactly what they should have done to a team like the Arizona Cardinals. Jim Schwartz and his unit overwhelmed Clayton Tune in his NFL debut, and quarterback Deshaun Watson showed flashes of his former self as the Browns routed the Cardinals by a score of 27-0.

They fell a missed kick short of dropping a 30-burger in this game.

All of Amari Cooper, David Njoku, and Kareem Hunt found the endzone. On the other side of the ball, they created three turnovers against Tune and the Cardinals. Cornerback Denzel Ward and linebacker Sione Takitaki both had interceptions, while defensive tackle Shelby Harris added a strip sack. It was a dominating and convincing win for a now 5-3 Browns team.

As we do every week, it’s time for another edition of 4 Downs. And boy do they go down smoother after a Browns win.
