Mitchell Schwartz was flagged for a false start on third-and-eight inside the Colts’ 20-yard line but the ensuing play was a touchdown from Brandon Weeden to Greg Little.Īll in all, the offensive line needs to get more drive and move opponents to open up holes for the running backs. As a result, Cleveland’s rush offense was hindered and eventually abandoned by head coach Pat Shurmur. However, despite those successes, the line was also unable to do much against the Colts front-seven. That includes a very limited amount of penalties, which is surprising given that John Greco was plugged in this week to start for the injured Jason Pinkston. They made very little mistakes that stood out and did not allow a single sack on the afternoon. It’s hard to break-through and grade each of these guys individually. He got a stop on the coverage on a sideline fade route but Weeden let the ball hang a little too far out of bounds for the receiver to haul it in. It may be a performance that the youngster can build upon moving forward.īenjamin had three catches in five targets and made the most out of his opportunities. Having Little hold onto the football is an encouraging sign. Surprisingly, he hauled in 6-of-7 targets for 46 yards receiving on the game. Little had no drops and a circus catch touchdown in the first half. His drop in the end zone after beating man coverage on a play-action pass from Weeden was the difference maker in the game. Josh Gordon had a pretty poor day with exception to the 33-yard back-shoulder catch and run that brought the Browns within one point in the second quarter. That’s something that will come with experience and he’s bound to get better. However, he needs to make plays with the game on the line. He proved he’s a reliable target for Weeden and someone worth holding onto. He hauled in four of the eight balls that came his way but one of those was the crucial game-ending fourth down target that was knocked out of his hands and fell to the grass. Josh Cooper played a significant role in the Browns offense on Sunday.
