Browns jolted by Jets

    The Cleveland Browns lost a game in which they allowed only 54 yards passing (42 on one play) to the New York Jets, and couldn't overcome two returns for touchdowns in a 27-20 loss in New Jersey.

Dillon Gabriel threw two touchdowns, Quinshon Judkins rushed for seventy-five yards, and Jerry Jeudy caught a touchdown pass amongst his seventy-eight receiving yards. 

The now 2-7 Browns return home to meet the resurgent Baltimore Ravens.

Brownie Bits

1) That wasn't a typo above.

The Jets finished with fifty-four yards passing, but forty-two came on one play, a Fields throw to running back Breece Hall early in the fourth quarter that broke a 17-17 tie and was enough to win the game.

2) The touchdown by Hall was the only touchdown allowed by the defense, but they still had their share of blame.

The Jets are trying to run the clock out, and they face a third and sixteen with 1:50 to go, and Justin Fields runs to keep the clock rolling or make the Browns use a timeout.

Devin Bush is called for defensive holding- automatic first down.

3) We progress a few plays later, it's fourth and five with fifty-eight seconds to go.

The Jets milk the clock for as long as they can and then either call a timeout or take the delay of game penalty and punt.

The Browns Cameron Thomas jumps offside-First Down.

Game over.

4) The Browns offensive line allowed six sacks, four of them by Will McDonald.

McDonald had three sacks in the Jets first eight games and eclipsed that number with one game against the Browns.

5) Much was made of the change of playcallers from Kevin Stefanski to Tommy Rees before the game, and the offense did look a little different in the passing game.

Rees moved Dillon Gabriel out of the pocket far more than Stefanski and they used some jet sweeps and misdirection more than Stefanski but I'm going to reserve judgement on consistent improvement.

6) The Browns have used Malachi Corley as the player who has handled the jet sweep calls, rushiing twice for thirty-two yards.

Corley, a wide receiver, has rushed four times this season for seventy-four yards, yet has caught only two balls for seventeen.
