Summary

The Raiders decision to not run the ball often is their biggest issue. Most runs have given the Browns trouble but they have gone away from it. The Browns have gotten good field position and a couple big plays. Besides that the lack of deep threat is showing. The run game is bad to pathetic thanks to the offensive line.
