4 Downs: Browns blow a golden opportunity vs. Seahawks

The Browns had a great opportunity to beat the Seahawks with Kevin Stefanski and PJ Walker in sync for most of the game. Until they weren’t.

This one is tough to accept. The Cleveland Browns had the Seattle Seahawks on the ropes for all of the second half. They fell down 14-0 early, fought back, and dominated the time of possession the rest of the way. Head coach Kevin Stefanski called one of his very best games as the lead man of the Browns, and quarterback PJ Walker was making some throws you would not expect him to make.

Then the wheels fell off with two minutes left in the game. All-in-all, the Browns fell to the Seahawks in this Week 8 bout by a score of 20-24. With 5-2 right in their grasps, the Browns sit now at 4-3 on the season with the Arizona Cardinals next up on the docket.

What stood out most from this game? This one was a tough one to steal takeaways from, because for the better part of the game it played out just as Browns fans hoped that it would. Your backup quarterback was doing enough, the run game was going strong, the defense created two turnovers and stuffed Geno Smith and the Seattle offense on eight straight third downs.

Yet the Browns found a way to lose. Here is a gut-wrenching 4 Downs.
