The Cleveland Browns dropped another game after another uninspired performance, marred by communication errors on defense. At 2-7, the Browns will head into their bye week closer to contention for the number one overall pick in the draft than any hope of a trip to the playoffs.
Cleveland’s pass rush was up for the challenge early, led by Myles Garrett’s three sacks in the first half. The issues occurred in the secondary as the Los Angeles Chargers connected for two long touchdown passes on busted coverages. Denzel Ward and Juan Thornhill weren’t on the same page on the plays that would ultimately seal the game early for the Chargers.
