It was not nearly the performance one would’ve hoped for on Sunday against the Houston Texans, as DPD’s Greg Newland hit on, but the Cleveland Browns did get the job done 31-21. The club looked flat, to some degree, in that one, for whatever reason, and had Houston’s Tyrod Taylor not injured his hamstring near the end of the first half, maybe things could’ve been even more interesting.
Either way, it was not a game where the Browns got away unscathed either, really.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield sustained a shoulder injury when attempting to tackle Houston’s Justin Reid (who later sustained a knee injury in the game), for one.
