Browns: Greg Newsome II gets third Trevor Lawrence interception vs. Jaguars

The Browns get their fourth turnover of the game!

Just when it looked like the Jacksonville Jaguars were fighting their way back into the game to tie it up, the Cleveland Browns came away with another massive interception. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence has now thrown three interceptions on the day, this time it was Greg Newsome II who hauled in his second interception of the season.

The Browns then took the football down the field and scored a touchdown to stretch the lead to 14 over the Jaguars as Joe Flacco connected with David Bell on a 41-yard strike.

After a couple of rough outings the past couple of weeks. Newsome II has bounced back in a big way against the Jaguars today. With Denzel Ward missing his third straight game, it has been imperative to get this type of performance out of Newsome and Martin Emerson Jr.

The Browns will need their defense to continue to stand tall as they look to close out this game against the Jaguars.

Browns Studs and Duds: Whose play stood out in the disappointing loss vs. Broncos?

Examining the studs and duds in the Cleveland Browns disappointing loss against the Denver Broncos

The Cleveland Browns suffered a bitter defeat against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The team’s spirits were riding high after a handful of wins propelled the Browns into a race to be the AFC North champion. That feeling quickly ended against another wildcard competitor despite another strong showing from linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.

The Broncos beat the Browns thoroughly. The Browns made things extremely difficult for themselves; they played poorly with no composure. The Broncos were far more prepared to play the Cleveland Browns than the other way around. 

The team seemed to deflate after quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was knocked out of the game on a penalized hit. The Browns were quickly winning the momentum of the game before that moment. The Browns immediately compounded the problem by fumbling the ball on the next play to set up an easy Broncos touchdown. Replacing the starting quarterback while climbing out of a two-score deficit proved too much for the Browns. 

The Browns will have a bad taste in their mouth after this game. They know they’re a much better team than the Broncos. And they know that the Broncos bullied them into a loss. Hopefully, our group has too much pride in themselves to get punked again this season. 

Here are the studs and duds from this humiliating defeat to the Broncos.

PFF’s 10 highest-graded Browns’ defensive players vs. Steelers

Another dominating performance from the Browns defense

It was just another day at the office for defensive end Myles Garrett, cornerback Martin Emerson Jr., and the rest of the dominant defense of the Cleveland Browns against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It is hard to argue anymore that Cleveland doesn’t have the league’s best unit as they continue to smother opposing offenses week in and week out. You take out Jaylen Warren’s long touchdown run and the Steelers’ offense didn’t do anything consistently Sunday.

Like has done so many times Myles Garrett set the tone on the very first play sacking Kenny Pickett for what was nearly a safety. All said and told he had five pressures and two sacks as he continues to build his resume for Defensive Player of the Year.

The team had some missed tackle issues that are sure to frustrate Jim Schwartz but on a day when the offense struggled the defense stepped up to get it done. Here are the top 10 performances from Cleveland’s victory over the Steelers according to PFF.

Browns Injury Report: Denzel Ward returns to practice, Dawand Jones remains out Wednesday

The Browns get set to take on the Steelers shorthanded at QB and at RT with Dawand Jones. However, Denzel Ward returned to practice.

The Cleveland Browns got some devastating injury news on Wednesday, as it was announced that quarterback Deshaun Watson will miss the rest of the season with a broken shoulder. That is not the only concern with the Steelers on deck as right tackle Dawand Jones remains sidelined. On a bright note, however, cornerback Denzel Ward was a limited participant in practice as the Browns get set to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers despite leaving the game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Ward is not the only player to show up on the injury list, however, as there is a laundry list from Wednesday’s practice. A handful of players were resting on the first day of practice this week, so a bit of sifting through the names has to be done.

Here is the long list of players who did not practice or practiced on a limited basis as the Browns look to advance to 7-3 on the season against the Steelers on Sunday with an opportunity to take hold of the top spot in the AFC North.

The Cleveland Browns’ thrilling last-second victory over the Baltimore Ravens has silenced the national media. The party hasn’t stopped in Cleveland as the Browns took the inside lane on winning the division. In Studs and Duds, we’re happy to shine a light on the five stars that delivered the Browns to victory.

There are no duds this week as every candidate redeemed their misfires later in the game. At the halfway mark, the Browns have at least proved they’re a mentally tough team that will gladly battle through adversity when other teams would quit.

The Browns had a tough start to the game, losing 17-3 by the end of the first quarter. The team methodically chipped away at the Ravens’ lead, bringing the Ravens within 8 points at halftime. After the Ravens scored on a 40-yard pass to Odell Beckham Jr., the defense locked the Ravens down.

The Ravens were only able to score off a muffed punt and multiple penalties that prolonged a red zone drive. Meanwhile, the Browns’ offense started to find its groove as they rolled for three more scores, including the 4-minute and 55-second drive that ended with a 40-yard game-winning field goal.

The Cleveland Browns showed a lot of heart and resilience in Baltimore on Sunday. It took a complete team effort to win in Baltimore. Here are the five studs who stood out the most.

PFF’s 10 highest-graded Browns’ defensive players vs. Ravens

Another overall solid day for the Browns defense

The defense of the Cleveland Browns was dealt a difficult hand with injuries to Denzel Ward and Juan Thornhill during the game but found a way to slow down the Baltimore Ravens. Two of the Ravens’ touchdowns were because of a muffed punt and a pick-six and outside of that overall they played well.

Special teamer Mike Ford was thrust into action as a corner in this game and held his own overall including an interception in the first half. It was just another day at the office for Myles Garrett who just continues to build his resume for Defensive Player of the Year. Another sack and a half for Garrett but the biggest play he made was on a third down when he chased down Lamar Jackson to force a punt in a one-score game.

Overall they had some slow moments at times where the Ravens just made some big plays but it was a good day overall. Here are the top 10 defensive performances from Sunday according to PFF.

5 Stars: Who shined for the Browns in thrilling win over the Ravens?

The Browns got standout performances across the board against the Ravens. From Geron Christian to Deshaun Watson, who stood out the most?

Now sitting at 6-3, winning four of their last five games, the Cleveland Browns have proven they are a real force this season. This time, quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Browns fought back from an early deficit to beat the Baltimore Ravens by a score of 33-31. Despite missing both of their starting offensive tackles, fielding Geron Christian and James Hudson, the Browns managed to hold their own against Baltimore’s fierce defense.

The Browns now have a real opportunity to make a huge statement if they can scratch and claw their way to another win this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Who contributed the most to this win? It was impossible to narrow this down to just five players, so the easy thing to do is exclude defensive end Myles Garrett since he would make the list every week.

Here are five standouts that deserve to be recognized for their efforts in the come-from-behind win over the Ravens.

Ravens lose 33-31 after questionable offensive play-calling vs. Browns

The Ravens converted just 25% of their third-down plays in Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Browns

Baltimore Ravens fans are likely dismayed after the Browns came out victorious 33-31 in week 10. Forcing two interceptions and sacking Lamar Jackson three times, the Browns finished the game with 16 fourth-quarter points.

The Ravens converted just 25% of their third-down plays, and quarterback Lamar Jackson was simply unimpressive. Rattled by defensive end Myles Garrett all game, Jackson never caught rhythm, completing only thirteen of his 23 pass attempts.  Still, offensive coordinator Todd Monken chose to sequence in pass plays instead of leaning on the running game – a stoic choice that led to a crucial interception by Browns defensive back Greg Newsome II in the fourth quarter.

Sure, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. registered a touchdown, and wide receiver Zay Flowers had a few good plays. Still, Monken abandoned the running game late, opening the window for a Browns comeback.

After the substantial divisional loss, Baltimore will have just four days to prepare for a Cincinnati Bengals offense that is beginning to catch fire.

Browns inactives: CB Greg Newsome active vs. Ravens

The Browns slot corner will be back vs Baltimore

The Cleveland Browns have announced their inactives list against the Baltimore Ravens, as they look for revenge for the loss in Cleveland back in October.

The Browns will be without three of their best offensive tackles, which is not good going against a defense that leads the league in sacks. It will be a big test for Deshaun Watson, as this is his chance to prove he is still an elite franchise quarterback.

The team will also be down two wide receivers in Marquise Goodwin and David Bell, where Austin Watkins Jr. was called up from the practice squad to cover for injuries. The Browns’ defense will need to step up against an offense that is killing teams running the football. This has all the makings of a statement game for Cleveland.

The inactives for today are as follows:

  • QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson
  • S Ronnie Hickman
  • DE Isaiah McGuire
  • DT Siaki Ika
  • OT Dawand Jones
  • WR Marquise Goodwin
  • WR David Bell

The Browns and Ravens kick things off at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.

Browns could get boost as Greg Newsome II returns to the practice field

Could the third-year player return to the field Sunday?

After the Cleveland Browns lost rookie Cameron Mitchell to IR, his former college teammate, Greg Newsome II, returned to the practice field. The Browns have dealt with their fair share of injuries this season but they continue to live by the next man-up mentality.

It was a shame to lose Mitchell, who had a fantastic game for a rookie last week against the Arizona Cardinals. If Newsome would be unavailable this Sunday, the team’s depth at the position would really be tested. But Newsome returned to practice for the team Thursday and seemed to be moving around well based on videos from practice.

The defense will need all hands on deck this Sunday against the Ravens, whose offense is one of the league’s best right now. Offensive coordinator Todd Monken and Lamar Jackson have been a great pairing for Baltimore as the offense has been explosive and high-scoring at the midpoint of the season.
