All duds, no studs in Cardinals’ 27-0 loss to Browns

It was a complete dud of a performance on Sunday.

The Arizona Cardinals suffered their worst loss of the season on Sunday, a 27-0 drubbing to the Cleveland Browns in which they gained only 58 yards of offense.

There were no real good performances. While the defense was passable, no one stood out for their play.

So rather than looking at the studs and duds in the loss, all we have are duds.

WATCH: This was called offensive pass interference?

Marquise was flagged for OPI without touching a defender.

The Arizona Cardinals mustered only 31 total yards of offense in the first half against the Cleveland Browns. They should have had 26 more yards.

On what was a great throw by quarterback Clayton Tune to Rondale Moore that went for 26 yards, fellow receiver Marquise Brown was called for offensive pass interference.

It was a horrible call.

Check out the play:

It would be offensive pass interference if Brown had run into the defender coming across to cover Moore. As you can see, he didn’t make contact with anyone. It was Denzel Ward, the defender covering Brown, who “interfered” with Cameron Mitchell.

What an egregious mistake by the officials, taking the only real good play for the Cardinals in the first half.

Cardinals’, Clayton Tune’s 1st half is forgettable vs. Browns

The Cardinals managed only 31 yards of offense while giving up 193 to the Browns.

The Arizona Cardinals struggled in the first half against the Cleveland Browns in Clayton Tune’s first career start.

A solid first-half team all season, the Cardinals were unable to do anything on offense.

The Cardinals managed a total of 31 yards on 20 offensive plays.

Tune completed 5-of-8 passes for 22 yards. He was picked off and sacked twice.

Their longest play from scrimmage was Tune’s first pass, a 12-yard completion to Trey McBride.

They had a 26-yard completion nullified by Marquise Brown’s second offensive pass interference penalty of the half, although it was a terrible call by the officials.

Defensively, they allowed the Browns to gain 193 yards, 63 on the ground.

 

WATCH: Browns score crazy lucky TD on deflected pass

The Browns took a 10-0 lead on an 11-yard touchdown pass that Cardinals rookie Dante Stills batted into the air.

The Cleveland scored the first touchdown of the game, capitalizing on a Clayton Tune interception. It gave them a 10-0 lead, but it came on a crazy play.

The Browns moved methodically into the red zone and rookie defensive lineman Dante Stills made a nice play.

On second down from the Arizona 11-yard line, Still jumped up and deflected Deshaun Watson’s pass. However, the deflected ball didn’t fall to the ground or into the arms of one of the Cardinals’ defenders.

It floated all the way to the end zone into the arms of Amari Cooper. It goes in the books as an 11-yard touchdown pass but it was one of the flukiest plays you will ever see.

Check it out.
