Let’s get this out of the way. Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers was the first game the Cleveland Browns truly missed Josh Gordon.
The Browns have been bit by the injury bug at wide receiver after losing Derrick Willies last week due to fracturing his collarbone in practice, and Rod Streater on Sunday with a neck fracture.
The Chargers secondary did a great job of taking advantage of the Browns battered wideouts by not allowing separation and causing Baker Mayfield to hold on to the ball, taking multiple sacks throughout the game.
Mayfield continues to impress in his post-game press conferences, shouldering the blame on Sunday when he said he was at fault and that he would work to improve.
