What moments stood out from the Browns’ big 19-16 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 10?
Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt usage
Both Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt were used on over 50% of the Cleveland Browns offensive snaps in Week 10 against the Bills. In this play, not only are both runners on the field, but Kareem Hunt delivers a block to help establish Nick Chubb’s cut back lane for a great run.
The #Browns using both Chubb & Hunt on this play was creative. Both excellent pass catchers & ball carriers.

Jarvis Landry great catch for a touchdown
Landry has been the best and most reliable wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns in 2019. On this play, Landry makes a great hands catch extending his arms away from his body. After the play, Landry was called for a taunting penalty and Austin Seibert ultimately missed the field goal. This was a great play and also a reminder to not let yourself get caught up in the heat of the moment.
Great stick throw by Baker 👨‍🍳 and incredibly soft hands by Landry. Lack of discipline and awareness created the taunting call that insured. Landry is a fiery and passionate player. He has earned the rights to do this. pic.twitter.com/NZoqVQuNyK

Rashard Higgins game-winning touchdown
Browns fans have been rooting for Higgins to get more playing time and he did. Higgins finished Week 10 with 47% of the offensive snaps. While this was a great catch and I enjoyed seeing Higgins on the field, I also wonder if he would have been on the field if Antonio Callaway wouldn’t have been benched (click here for the full story). I will be watching closely to see if Higgins’ usage continues to trend up or if Callaway returns to the field and supplants Higgins.
Just not enough Higgins. Hollywood’s Route was sick and, while it was an easy catch, it was a high pressure catch. I need more of this in my #Browns life. pic.twitter.com/F9ed9DKFNZ

Baker Mayfield safety
One of my biggest concerns with Baker Mayfield is his ability to get the ball out on time and this play perfectly outlines why. While the play design is horrible and there should have been a runner in the backfield with pass protection duties, it is also on the quarterback to deliver the ball when his back foot hits on the three-step drop. Mayfield double clutches and tries to scan the field for another option. If the ball was thrown on time, it could have been thrown away. Instead, Mayfield tries to make “the big play” and takes a safety.
Big play of the game. If Baker 👨‍🍳 throws the ball at the end of the drop there is no safety. Instead he double clutches and the pressure gets to him for a safety. pic.twitter.com/fwB0xrPoXV

Incredible Jarvis Landry catch to set up the game-winning score
As mentioned earlier, Landry has been the best wide receiver for the Browns in 2019. This play shows not only great concentration, but also his ability to adjust to the ball in the air. While we shouldn’t dwell on Odell Beckham uncovering himself in the deep middle or Kareem Hunt being wide open on the right side of the field, the catch was great and set up the game-winning touchdown to Rashard Higgins.
Can we talk about Kareem Hunt being open on the right side of this play, @jake_burns18? pic.twitter.com/GEMH1nGLNo
