CLEVELAND – In the aftermath of an eventful week that saw the Browns fire head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley, players did their best to block out the distraction and take down the AFC’s top team Kansas City.
Under interim head coach Greg Williams, Cleveland put up a valiant effort. Baker Mayfield threw for nearly 300 yards. The Browns only trailed by six at the half. It was hardly enough, however, against MVP candidate Patrick Mahomes and the juggernaut Chiefs. Down 21-15 at halftime, the Browns offense went on to sputter the rest of the way, scoring a meager six second-half points and allowing Kansas City to pull away for a 37-21 win.
