CLEVELAND — The Browns’ defense put together an imperfect but promising performance against the Steelers last week. They built on those bright spots Sunday against the Giants, but it wasn’t enough to lift Hue Jackson and Co. to their first win of the season.
Instead, New York powered past Cleveland, 27-13, at FirstEnergy Stadium for their sixth-straight victory.
The Browns, who fell to 0-12 this season, held the Giants to 298 total yards, forced nine punts and trailed by a touchdown in the fourth quarter. But they committed three turnovers — including a All Pro defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul’s momentum-swinging fumble recovery for a touchdown — and were unable to shut down down receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
