The Cleveland Browns have chosen their home game against Denver Broncos at night on Friday with 17:14 for themselves. D Ernest Johnson played great in the absence of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. The open of the guests woke up too late.
5 plays. 75 yards. 2 minutes and 40 seconds playing time. A better start to your home game against the Broncos browns could hardly ceform today. With a Screen Pass of Case Keenum (21/33, 199 YDS, TD, 4 ATT, 7 YDS) on Austin Hooper (2 REC, 42 YDS) over 34 yards started Cleveland Formidabel, D Ernest Johnson (22 ATT, 146 YDS, TD, 2 REC, 22 YDS) achieved the first touchdown of the game after three strong RUNS at the beginning of the encounter - 7: 0. It was a tour that Cleveland should no longer give up in the game.
The guests did not find in the game in the first half. Denver came to just two first downs, less than 80 yards and not a single point. Teddy Bridgewater (23/33, 187 YDS, 2 TD, INT, 2 ATT, 3 YDS), who had went to the match, suffered visibly among his injuries and threw an interception in the arms of John Johnson III.
The only positive that could take Denver from the first half was a blocked Field Goal shortly before the break. Previously, Chase McLaughlin (1/2 FG, 2/2 XP) had already met a kick from 52 yards, his second attempt from 41 yards removal was blocked by Shelby Harris. Thus, the guests were happy to appreciate only with a residue of 0:10 in the break.
In the halftime has already been speculated whether Denver Bridgewater could replace the second pass through the fitter backup Drew Lock. Lock remained outside, Bridgewater played the game through.

And actually bridgewater came and the entire openness of the guests as replaced from the cabin. Denver placed a 13-play drive over 79 yards for a touchdown pass to Melvin Gordon (8 ATT, 18 YDS, 2 REC, 14 YDS, TD) for a Touch Down Pass on Melvin Gordon - it were more yards and points than the Broncos were successful throughout the first half.
Cleveland, however, answered with his second touchdown of the game. The hosts also put 13 plays on the lawn, a Fourth-and-Three At the opposing six-yard line, Kevin Stefanski was brave and rewarded: Baker Mayfield s representative Keenum brought a new First Down via Scramble and then found a play -Action Pass from the one-yard-line Fullback Johnny Stanton (2 ATT, 5 YDS, REC, TD) in the Endzone - 17: 7!
After a three-and-out of the Broncos as well as a Punt of Browns, Bridgewater repented his Broncos in the last quarter with another long drive in the redzone. At the Eleven Yard line, Vic Fangio had a Fourth-and-One successfully playing out, with a third-and-andth quarter the quarterback fitted the ball short to running back Javontte Williams (4 ATT, 20 YDS, 6 REC, 32 YDS, TD), which shortened at 14:17.
The Ball again did not receive the Broncos. Johnson laid the next strong drive behind the entire game over dominant offensive Line of Browns: Cleveland moved the ball over 10 plays 61 yards wide and did not give the possession of the possession.
Both teams had to process injury to injury again: the Browns do not only have to do without Mayfield longer longer than maybe without Denzel. Mayfield betrayed in front of the game that he has pulled himself a break in the shoulder. How long he will fail, is still unclear. The cornerback was injured late in the game and did not return. On the part of the Broncos lagged from Miller end of the second quarter from the field and could not continue playing.
The Browns received the Pittsburgh Steelers next week. The Broncos meet at home on the Washington Football Team.

Browns vs. Broncos - the most important statistics
The Defense of the Broncos continue to caught no good start in their games. Against the Browns Denver was the first drive to be equal to a touchdown. It was the third approved Drive at the Opening Drive in the last three games. Bridgewater was noticed to be surprisingly aggressive downfield passer this season. 9.5 Air yards per pass the Broncos QB finished second in this metric third place in the league. Against the Browns acted Bridgewater then, however, almost exclusively in the passing game: He posted less than 6 Air yards per pass. Fangio threw his challenge flag in the last quarter and got after a mistake in catch gewertetem pass legislation. It was the first won Challenge for the Broncos coach this year. In his career, he is now at a rate of 4 of the 14th Bridgewater s Sneak was six minutes to play, the tenth successful fourth-down conversion of the Broncos this season. Thus Denver leads the league: No other team played more Fourth Downs successfully.
The star of the game: The offensive line of the Browns
No Nick Chubb? No Kareem Hunt? No problem! D Ernest Johnson dropped 22 Carries for 146 yards (6.6 yards per run) and a touchdown a monster game out - this was made possible by Cleveland s dominant offensive line. Joel Bitonio, Wyatt plates and Co. managed always huge spaces in the run-Defense of the Broncos, so that John Kelly (2 ATT, 13 YDS) and Demetric Felton (2 ATT, 13 YDS, 3 REC, 21 YDS) to more than 6 came as six yards per run. In the pass-blocking to Cleveland also presented good: Although Keenum held the ball several times too long, the Browns were only a sack - and without right tackle Jack Conklin.
Flop of the Match: The Run Defense of Broncos
Fangio could see the discontent about their own run-Defense already on the first drive of the Browns, scolded as the head coach loudly on the sidelines. Denver took the entire game no answer to the running game for the visitors. That soon after injury with Micah Kiser next linebacker the team and turned out also by Miller during the game, little helped. That night the Broncos at the line of scrimmage were dominated. So it is difficult to win a football game.

Analysis: Browns vs. Broncos - the tactics board
Jarvis Landry (5 REC, 37 YDS) made his comeback after the receiver had injured the same in the second season game. Keenum sought the slot receiver from the start, striking common: The first four passes (without screens) of Keenum all went to Landry. Odell Beckham Jr. (2 REC, 23 YDS) played injured and should be involved early in the game despite his recent poor form curve. However OBJ played no means as once used to from him again: Beckham caught any of his first four targets, including a bad drop and a gaffe that nearly ended in an interception. Stefanski sat in addition to the so-dominant running game his team extensively on the screen game of the Browns to pressure of Keenums to take shoulders and to give his offense a baseline. That plan was full on - no surprise: The Browns had gone with the best screen offense the NFL into play worse than the Broncos were against the screen previously only the Giants. Denver first tried noticeably to protect Bridgewater and his battered body. The Broncos started with two run-Plays into play and let their quarterback especially with quick passes to act in the short passing game. As the game progresses the guests that plan had to adapt due to lack of success - and Bridgewater did his job then quite neat. Cleveland played mostly a rather restrained Defense with a deep Safety and the Four-Men Rush in the defensive line. In Third Down the Browns, however, were more creative: Particularly worth mentioning is the play call just before the break: defensive coordinator Joe Woods had four players from the left side and rushing allowed Safety Grant Delpit as a clear path to quarterback. The result: Incompletion, Punt.
