Cleveland Browns studs and duds from frustrating Week 13 loss
By Randy Gurzi
Stud: Jarvis Landry
Jarvis Landry is simply playing out of his mind right now. In Week 12, he torched his former team, the Miami Dolphins, to the tune of 148 yards and two touchdowns on 10 receptions. He continued his great play this Sunday, starting with a phenomenal catch on the opening drive.
Baker Mayfield was looking to Landry early in the game as the two connected for a 19-yard gain on the first completed pass of the game. Later in that opening drive, Landry made an insane sideline catch which was originally called incomplete. Head coach Freddie Kitchens challenged the ruling and it was reversed as the refs saw Landry drag his feet and just barely get his toes inbounds.
That catch was just another example of how good Landry is at working his way back to the ball when Mayfield scrambles. This time, it was a 3rd-and-14 and Mayfield was rolling out to his right to escape pressure and Landry was able to get his attention and made the 15-yard grab for a new set of downs.
Landry continued to shine in the second half, coming up with another solid grab on their first drive of the second half. Once again behind the chains on a 2nd-and-12, Juice made a catch in traffic for 16-yards and a first down.
In all, he had a team-high in receptions (6) and yardage (76). Outside of Nick Chubb, Landry has been the most consistent player on this team.
