For the last 24 hours, my thoughts about the Cleveland Browns week one tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers have gone like this:
“We didn’t lose”
“But we forced six turnovers and didn’t win.”
“We came back from 14 points down with 8 minutes and change left”
“We committed so many penalties”
The Browns had moments where they showed why fans are genuinely optimistic about this season. The defense forced six turnovers. Jarvis Landry and Carlos Hyde showed why they were money well spent. Denzel Ward had a tremendous debut.
But there was another team that made an appearance.
