You will not see a final score in this article. You will not see the final stats from the box score between the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots. Instead, you are going to get an article that was written with 14 minutes left in the game as the Browns tack on some feel-good points on Cade York’s third field goal of the game from 51 yards out.
The Browns have laid an egg and are not even worthy of keeping on the television for the remaining 16 minutes of the game. To make matters worse, starting guard Wyatt Teller left the game with a calf injury in the first half and has not returned.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has returned to the level of the journeyman quarterback that he is with three interceptions today. The Browns are averaging three yards per carry on the ground, and the defense has shown nothing but quit.
There will be plenty of jobs up for grabs, and perhaps this season as a great deal of the established veterans have played particularly poorly. Safeties Grant Delpit and John Johnson III have been a massive letdown, and defensive coordinator Joe Woods better start cleaning out his locker as the bye week is just two weeks away.
The Browns have bright spots on this roster. Tight David Njoku continues his breakout campaign, Myles Garrett has broken the franchise sack record, and Nick Chubb continues to be the best running back in the league.
However, this is a team that has had too many opportunities to win football games. They have not been able to close. And now today, the Browns did nothing but lay a massive egg in a game they needed to win to get back to .500.
We are on to the Baltimore Ravens, but as the Browns are now looking towards a 2-4 record, this team has dug themselves a hole they will not be able to play themselves out of in 2022.
