Upon Further Review: What stood out from all-22 of loss to Dolphins?

Now that the coach’s film is out once again, what can we take away from this Browns vs. Dolphins matchup?

The hopes were high coming out of the bye week, but the Cleveland Browns floundered against the Miami Dolphins last week. Losing by a score of 39-17, the flaming hot Miami offense had no difficulty moving the football and finding the endzone against this struggling Cleveland defense.

Before we turn our attention completely to the Buffalo Bills and another potential snow game, we take one last look back at this beat down.

Now that the coach’s film is out and we can get an appropriate view of the game, what big points stuck out? Here are five points that stood out the most when re-watching this blood bath.

Browns vs. Dolphins: Instant reactions as Miami offense keeps rolling

The Browns could not overcome the powerful offense of the Dolphins, falling to 3-6 on the season.

Falling to 3-6 on the season, the Cleveland Browns are going to need to win both of their next two games against the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Falling to the Miami Dolphins by a score of 39-17, the Browns could not find any answers to Mike McDaniel’s potent offensive attack.

Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa finished the game with a line of 25-for-32 passing for 285 yards and three touchdowns, the Dolphins rushed for 184 yards on 25 carries between Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson, and the Browns could not get off the field. The Browns found offensive success early, but a Nick Chubb fumble and a stalled fourth down attempt killed two productive drives.

What instant reactions come to the top as the Browns drop one in South Beach?

WATCH: Nick Chubb gives the Browns a consolation score vs. Dolphins

The Browns have cut the deficit to 13 points as Nick Chubb breaks a long run vs. the Dolphins.

The Cleveland Browns have scored their second offensive touchdown of the game against the Miami Dolphins. After Harrison Bryant caught a touchdown on the opening drive of the game, running back Nick Chubb finds the endzone now in the fourth quarter on a big run up the sideline.

This score cuts the Miami lead to 13 as the score now sits at 30-17 as we have just entered the fourth quarter. Entering that offensive drive, the Browns had not found any success running the football. As it sits now, Chubb has racked up 64 yards on 11 carries. As the defense looks to breathe life back into this game, this may be too little too late for the Browns.

Browns Injury Alert: Wyatt Teller exits in first quarter vs. Dolphins

After missing the past few weeks with an injured calf, Wyatt Teller has exited the game against the Dolphins as well.

The Cleveland Browns will likely be without their starting right guard the rest of the way against the Miami Dolphins. After missing multiple weeks with an injured calf, right guard Wyatt Teller exited this game in the first quarter as well.

In his relief, the Browns will count on Hjalte Froholdt to hold down the fort the rest of the way in this one. Froholdt started in the absence of Teller as well and did so without drawing much negative attention to his play. Down by three points coming off of a Harrison Bryant touchdown and a Nick Chubb fumble, the Browns look to stay in this one against the Dolphins.

WATCH: Browns strike first vs. Dolphins on Harrison Bryant touchdown

The Browns strike first as quarterback Jacoby Brissett caps off a big drive against the Dolphins, finding Harrison Bryant in the endzone

The Cleveland Browns have struck first against the Miami Dolphins. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett went 3-for-3 on the drive, including a game-opening bomb to wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones. The Browns capped the drive off with a touchdown pass to Harrison Bryant inside their own five-yard line.

The Cleveland offense could not have asked for a better start to this game, striking first out of their bye week. As the defense comes on the field to take on the potent Miami offense, this game has the makings of a shootout. Can the Browns keep pace and pull out their second win in a row?

Browns announce 7 inactives vs. Dolphins including Perrion Winfrey

The Browns have released their inactives list, and it includes a couple of injured starters and fourth round rookie Perrion Winfrey

The Cleveland Browns have announced their seven inactive players as they look to make it two in a row against the Miami Dolphins. It was already hinted that rookie defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey would miss his second game in a row as a healthy scratch, and that has indeed come to fruition.

Joining Winfrey on the inactive list are starters tight end David Njoku and linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, who were ruled out earlier this week. Quarterback Kellen Mond, hybrid player Demetric Felton, cornerback Thomas Graham Jr., and offensive guard Michael Dunn round out the list of inactives as well.

Report: DT Perrion Winfrey will be inactive once again vs. Dolphins

As the Browns get set to take on the Miami Dolphins, they will do so without defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey.

For the second time in as many games, the Cleveland Browns will not dress fourth round rookie defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey according to Brad Stainbrook of The OBR. While he suffered through an illness this week, Winfrey was not listed on the final injury report, making him a healthy scratch against the Miami Dolphins.

This writing may have been on the wall a bit after the Browns signed defensive tackle Roderick Perry II to the active roster off of their practice squad in a flurry of moves made yesterday. Looking to roll out a three-man rotation in Jordan Elliott, Taven Bryan, and Tommy Togiai again (with some Alex Wright and Jadeveon Clowney lined up inside as well), the defensive unit looks to stack a third positive game in a row.

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, David Njoku ruled OUT vs. Dolphins

The Browns will be without linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and tight end David Njoku against the Dolphins

The Cleveland Browns will be without two of their key contributors when they take on the potent Miami Dolphins this Sunday. The Browns have ruled out both linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah and tight end David Njoku today as they continue to work through injuries.

This will mean Sione Takitaki will get another opportunity to play a good chunk of WILL (where he thrived on Monday Night Football) next to Deion Jones, while the offense will have to adjust through the air without their second-leading receiver. Cleveland found a way to win without them against the Cincinnati Bengals, and now they will look to test their luck again against the Dolphins.

Browns still unsure on David Njoku: ‘We’ll see today what he looks like’

The status for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins is still uncertain for tight end David Njoku: ‘I know he’s hopeful.’

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku exited late in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was at first listed as week-to-week, then quickly reevaluated to day-to-day. Njoku sat out in the win against the Cincinnati Bengals before entering the bye week. The Browns, however, are still unsure about his status for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, but he will test out his ankle today.

Speaking to the media, tight ends coach TC McCartney stated, “We’ll see today what he looks like. I know he’s hopeful… The next few hours, we want to see.”

Browns vs. Dolphins: How does Cleveland slow down Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle?

The Browns have their hands full this week with the dynamic offense of the Dolphins. Can they slow down Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle?

Defensive coordinator Joe Woods is going to have to catch up on sleep next week. The Cleveland Browns are set to take on the Miami Dolphins and the most explosive offense in the NFL this Sunday. The NFL’s leading receiver in Tyreek Hill and his counterpart Jaylen Waddle (who is also a top-five receiver in yards) present a nightmare of a threat for the Browns to match.

The Browns have found some success over the past two weeks, but will now need a massive showing to come away with a win this Sunday. How can the Browns at least limit this lethal unit that features two premier receivers in Hill and Waddle?
