        Summary

        The Browns offense looks terrible. Very little life. Doesn’t look like Josh Gordon likes Brian Hoyer as his quarterback. The inability to run the ball is clear and the pass game struggles when they can’t play off play action. The Bills will now play conservative. The Browns defense has played well today but nothing from the offense suggests a win is likely. Eight total yards by the offense that quarter.
