Say what you will about how the game was played overall, but the simplest way to put it is this; the Broncos didn’t win this game, the Cleveland Browns lost it. That’s how it’s been this season for Cleveland, though today, they lost it in a new way.
Rather than the same penalties that seem to force them into precarious situations on a weekly basis, this time the Browns just couldn’t execute when it mattered. The penalties weren’t the problem they usually are for this team, but instead, it was a couple of issues including them having to settle for field goals in the first half.
