Cleveland Browns Defeat The Cowboys In A Thriller

By

The Cleveland Browns defeated the Dallas Cowboys by the score of 49-38 to go 3-1 on the season.

This game had a little bit of everything.

Here’s a recap of what happened.

 

1. Trick Plays

 

It’s not Halloween yet, but the Browns dipped into the trick playbook for the first TD of the game where Jarvis Landry threw a 37 yard TD pass to Odell Beckham Jr.

The pass was a beauty.

 

2. Turnovers

 

At the end of the 1st Quarter, Dallas was leading by a score of 14-7.

But the Cowboys sloppy play in the 2nd quarter let Cleveland back in the game.

Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott each fumbled in the 2nd quarter.

The Browns capitalized on those turnovers with 2 TDs; the Browns also scored another TD and FG on other possessions.

Austin Hooper had his 1st TD as a Brown, OBJ had another TD, and Hunt rushed for a TD.

 

Cleveland racked up an astounding 24 points while holding Dallas to its 1st quarter total of 14.

At halftime, Cleveland led 31-14.

 

3. Nick Chubb

 

Despite things going very well for the Browns, the team did lose Nick Chubb to a knee injury.

 

Defensive lineman Trysten Hill landed on his leg which appeared to cause the injury.

Chubb left the game with 6 rushes for 43 yards.

He will have an MRI on Monday to learn the extent and severity of the injury.

 

4. 4th Quarter Craziness

 

After another Kareem Hunt TD and Cody Parkey FG, the Browns finished the 3rd Quarter leading 41-14.

But the game was far from over; in fact, the 4th Quarter could have its own separate highlight reel.

The Cowboys offense finally rose from the dead and scored 24 points in 11 minutes.

This was achieved by 3 TDs and 3 successful 2 point conversions.

Dak Prescott had 2 TD passes while Pollard had a rushing TD.

With about 3 minutes left, the score was now 41-38.

 

5. The End

 

Dallas was either going to notch the greatest comeback in its franchise history, or the Browns would hold on to go 3-1.

Toward the end of the 4th Quarter, no one really knew for sure which way the game would go.

But OBJ came up huge again with a 50 yard TD run.

After the game, OBJ talked about Kareem Hunt and Harrison Bryant giving him advice prior to the play.

But the drama wasn’t over yet.

The Browns who had absolutely no issues on special teams the entire game had the extra point blocked.

Clearly, it was their day because they turned a blocked extra point into a successful 2 point conversion.

The 2 point conversion capped a huge win that was the result of great play calling, decision making, and no turnovers by the Browns.

Final score was 49-38.

 

6. Postgame Thoughts

 

Coach Stefanski’s response when asked about going 3-1.

“I think it makes sense to break the season up into quarters. Finishing the first quarter 3-1 is well done by the guys, but it is a four-quarter game and it is a four-quarter season. Once we watch the tape and try to get better after this win, the focus goes right back to the next opponent for next week. There is really no time to really spend much time thinking about it.”

The Browns have not been 3-1 after Week 4 since the 2001 season.
