The Cleveland Browns picked a very bad time to have a very bad game. Down several key starters due to injuries and a COVID-19 contact tracing outbreak that crippled the offense just hours before kickoff, the Browns fell to the 1-win Ney York Jets, 23-16.
Cleveland falls to 10-5 with the gut-wrenching loss, losing control of the top Wild Card seed in the process.
It was a tough game to watch. The Browns offense was badly neutered by missing left tackle Jedrick Wills, right guard Wyatt Teller and the top four wideouts on the roster. The Jets, to their credit, played solid on defense and made just enough plays on offense to capture their second win in a row.
