Bengals vs. Browns instant analysis: Defense steps up, offense catches fire in second half

The Browns came away with a much-needed win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. What stood out the most?

No David Njoku, no Wyatt Teller, no Denzel Ward, no Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, no problem. The Cleveland Browns overcame a steep injury report to come away with a massive Monday Night Football blowout against the Cincinnati Bengals.

On the day, quarterback Jacoby Brissett threw for 278 yards and a touchdown, going 17-of-22. His favorite target was once again Amari Cooper who went for a massive 131 yards and a touchdown on five catches. The Browns found a great balance, as Nick Chubb rushed for 101 yards and two touchdowns, and Kareem Hunt added 72 total yards on 15 touches amid trade rumors.

Browns Film Room: Donovan Peoples-Jones is proving me wrong

Donovan Peoples-Jones has taken a massive step forward for the Browns this season. See how he has found success by diving into the film.

The Cleveland Browns have left plenty to be desired thus far through their 2022 campaign. This, however, does not take away from the good things that still show up on tape and the field; those bright spots deserve to be highlighted. One of those bright spots this season for the Browns continues to be third-year wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Coming into the season I was relatively coy about the type of player Peoples-Jones could develop into. And while he still has his obvious limitations as a stiff route runner and ability to separate, Peoples-Jones has made it work on the field regardless.

Taking another added leap, Peoples-Jones has continued to answer the bell when the Browns have called his number. And often in crucial situations on fourth downs or when they are pushed back behind the sticks.

Here we take a look at the tape he has put out thus far in 2022, as well as a statistical and analytical look at the season he is having for the Browns.

Browns vs. Ravens instant analysis: Playing a full 60 minutes with room for error

The Browns lose a heartbreaker to the Ravens as they continue to play with no margin for error.

The Cleveland Browns have dropped to 2-5 on the season after a hard-fought loss against the Baltimore Ravens. Needing to stay afloat and spotless in the AFC North, the Browns have now dropped to 1-1 in the division and likely face too far of a hill to climb up from here.

Jacoby Brissett saw himself under a ton of pressure today but managed to play a relatively clean game, going for 258 yards passing on a line of 22-of-27. Running back Nick Chubb continued to do Chubb things, tallying another 100 total yards and a touchdown on 18 touches. While he left the game with an ankle injury, David Njoku saw the most targets as his breakout season continues; he racked up 71 yards on seven catches, while wide receivers Amari Cooper and Donovan Peoples-Jones added another 74 and 71 respectively.

We dive in here to what stood out instantly based on this live broadcast viewing between the Browns and Ravens.

Browns vs. Ravens halftime thoughts: David Njoku, special teams, and more

The Cleveland Browns have reached halftime as they continue to battle the Baltimore Ravens in this Week 7 action. With 30 more minutes to go, the Browns currently trail the Ravens by a score of 13-10.

Running back Nick Chubb has scored the only touchdown for the Browns on the day, while quarterback Jacoby Brissett has played a clean half despite some ill-advised sacks to push them out of field goal range with less than a minute to go in the half.

After a second look using all-22, what stood out the most in this game between the Browns and Patriots?

There is no other way to state it other than the Cleveland Browns got outclassed by the New England Patriots on Sunday. It was ugly on broadcast view, and it was ugly when viewing the coach’s film as well.
