BROWNIES & FROWNIES: COVID Cleveland cannot hold lead, loses 16-14 as playoff hopes are crippled

The pandemic reared its ugly head on the Browns this week against the Raiders. At first, Cleveland was perceived as the favorite. The Raiders are a team they can beat.

Every game from this point on could mean the difference between getting into the playoffs or watching those games on big screen at home.

Cleveland went into this game with eight starters out. Ouch. But the “next man up” mentality is a real thing, and this game was proof of that. In a contest that played more like a playoff game instead of a regular season outing was evident.
