Summary

The Browns offense continues to struggle and many will look at the decision to go for it on 4th down. The decision was solid, using Terrance West at all this game has not been positive for the Browns. The Jags had very little offensive success until they got into the 2 minute offense. A missed Skrine tackle led to the only touchdown of the game.
