The Cleveland Browns loss to the Los Angeles Rams gave fans many areas they could have pointed at if they were looking to assign blame. From play-calling, to time management, to individual performances, there are no shortages of suspects.
But penalties were also on display on Sunday night and they had a significant impact on the game. Although the Browns were “only” penalized eight times for 60 yards, almost every flag seemed like a dagger in stopping the Browns momentum.
On the Browns initial drive, they started off with a quick 10-yard pass from Baker Mayfield to Jarvis Landry.
