“Cleveland is just Cleveland.”
“I almost called them the elves.”
We can guarantee you Ja’Marr Chase is regretting those comments after Sunday’s absolute butt-whooping.
The Cleveland Browns dominated the Cincinnati Bengals 24-3 to secure a Week 1 victory.
Myles Garrett, Za’Darius Smith, Ogbo Okoronkwo, Martin Emerson, Denzel Ward, Greg Newsome II and Grant Delpit all played top-notch games, holding Joe Burrow to fewer than 100 passing yards in a game for the first time since high school.
Offensively, Nick Chubb led the way for the Browns with 100+ yards on the ground.
Weather played a role in the game for both sides, but Deshaun Watson handled it better than Burrow did. Watson was far from perfect, but he did enough to lead the Browns to two TD drives.
Starting right tackle Jack Conklin suffered what is feared to be a season ending injury, meaning rookie Dawand Jones could be thrust into action way sooner than expected. Is Jones ready to hold down the fort opposite of Jed Wills?
Also, can Kevin Stefanski coach 17 games against the Bengals each season? Stefanski seems to be at his best against Cincinnati, but not at the same level against the rest of the league. Why?
IT’S VICTORY MONDAY FOLKS!!!!
