After an incredibly fast start, the Cleveland Browns’ offense entered a long scoreless stretch, falling behind 21-7 early in the fourth quarter. Taking over near the 50-yard line, Cleveland orchestrated a five-play, 49-yard touchdown drive, capped off by a six-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Deshaun Watson to receiver Amari Cooper — their second scoring connection of the day.

The ground game showed its first signs of life with a 12-yard run from Jerome Ford and a 14-yard scramble from Watson. After the score, Watson connected with Jerry Jeudy for a two-point conversion, cutting the lead to six points with plenty of time left in the fourth quarter to make a comeback in this one.
It hasn’t been a pretty showing for the offense so far due to the disruptive Giants’ pass rush, but capitalizing on great field position has given them a chance to come out of Week 3 with a win against the 0-2 Giants.
