Browns have to call timeout before first play in loss to Ravens

Unfortunately, that was the only score of the game for the Browns after that. In a span of 18 minutes, 20 seconds Thursday night, he threw three of them.

Yet that stat truly illustrates how miserable Cleveland has been since rejoining the National Football League for the 1999 season. “We came out of it pretty good”. “I can’t put my finger on it, but obviously it’s a problem”.

The Ravens took a 21-7 lead over the Browns with Flacco’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Smith, Sr. with 2:05 to play in the third quarter. So, let’s talk about some Browns things even though none of it might actually matter. Sizzle was in defensive player of the year form, while playing through a torn bicep. All four times the Browns lost the second half due to not making adjustments. Looking ahead, they travel out of the eastern timezone for the only time this season, to face Dallas in Week 11. Cleveland trailed Baltimore 7-6 at halftime, a scoreline that a young quarterback could have taken as encouraging.

Kessler was benched in the fourth quarter, having tallied just 91 passing yards.

Kessler has been confirmed as the Browns’ starter next week. That’s only two games off the record of 13, set by Denver in the 1963 and ’64 seasons. The statement says two people were detained by police but no one has been charged.

The Browns took a 7-3 lead in the second quarter when Kessler hit rookie third-string tight end Seth DeValve on a 25-yard touchdown. McCown was just flat out very bad. He was also picked off twice on potential scoring drives.

Speaking of winning, it was only the fifth time in 21 games since 2013 the Ravens won when Flacco threw the ball 40 or more times.

Dixon did a decent job on blitz pickups, as did Buck Allen on the touchdown pass to Breshad Perriman. In his seven starts, Kessler has one interception.

The Browns are giving up over 30 points per game and have allowed 25 or more points in every game this season.

The Browns didn’t give him that chance on Thursday night. Collins was all over the field.

To make matters worse, 28 of the Browns’ 53 players on their roster have two or fewer years experience, including 19 rookies. Kirksey finished with a game high 13 total tackles, eight of them solo.

By then if the pre-injury Flacco doesn’t start showing himself a little more often, a potential playoff berth that looks promising today will likely evaporate quickly. There are only six games remaining. “Me and Cody had a great conversation (Friday) morning”. This Browns writer is done covering the week ten game. I went right over to him and told him to keep his head up.
