The Cleveland Browns scored their first points of the 2020 season thanks to David Njoku.
Late in the first quarter, the Browns capped off a strong drive by fooling the Baltimore Ravens with a deceptive formation and a brilliant use of play action from Baker Mayfield to find an uncovered Njoku in the back left corner of the end zone.
The Browns had run the ball impressively on the drive, notably a 22-yard Kareem Hunt to set up the Browns with 1st-and-goal at the Ravens 2-yard line. Deploying a heavy formation with multiple tight ends, they convinced the Ravens it was going to be a run.
Mayfield sold the play-fake beautifully and Njoku had no problem securing the Browns’ first points of the 2020 season.

Alas, Austin Seibert missed the extra point and the Browns could only cut the Ravens lead to 10-6. It’s still a great play from the Browns offense.
