The 27 points by the Browns is the fourth most points scored without an offensive touchdown since 1933.
While the points are history making, they are also a cause for concern for the team.
With Deshaun Watson making his return to the NFL, some thought he could light things up.
However, his play against his former team saw him making plenty of mistakes.
With those mistakes came many opportunities for the Texans to win the game.
But thanks to the defense of the Browns, and a punt return by Donovan Peoples-Jones, they scored three touchdowns.
While the passing offense was horrible, everyone else was looking solid.
Can The Browns Keep Up With Their Defensive Dominance?
If the Browns want a playoff spot, they need more wins.
However, they might need their defense to dominate teams to win their upcoming games.
With Watson clearly having issues, they can’t rely on him to get them wins.
While the defense was looking good on Sunday, they were playing against a broken team.
It will be tough for them to continue dominating their remaining opponents, who are mostly playoff contenders.
