Cleveland Browns studs and duds from huge Week 4 win

Dud: Andrew Sendejo, Safety

The Browns took a quick 7-0 lead but the Cowboys tied it up just as quickly. They had a rapid 88-yard play which ended with a long touchdown to CeeDee Lamb — the first of his career. On the play, Lamb was able to get past the corners and Andrew Sendejo didn’t pick him up, apparently thinking he had help over the top. Of course, there was no help that let Lamb run uncontested into the end zone.

He then was involved in the second touchdown for Dallas as Dak Prescott hit Amari Cooper on a fourth-and-two slant pass that went for six from 20 yards out. Cooper got inside on Denzel Ward, who was trusting Sendejo to come over the top. The safety did that, but when Cooper caught the ball, he missed on his attempted tackle and Cooper walked in for the second score of the game for Dallas.

Sendejo did redeem himself later in the game as he was able to force a turnover that led to seven points. After taking a 21-14 lead — following a strip-sack from Myles Garrett that led to seven points — Dallas handed the ball to Ezekiel Elliott who ripped off a 24-yard gain. But in the end, Sendejo came in and punched the ball out, which allowed Cleveland to go back down the field and extend the lead to 28-14.

Even with that big play, Sendejo has had far too many issues on the field — whereas Ronnie Harrison has been standing out with his positive play. It may be time for more Harrison and less Sendejo going forward — because he can be good in spurts but may have too much on his plate.
