The final score of this game turned out to be pretty much how everyone expected Youth Britton Colquitt Jersey , with Kansas City winning 37-21 over Cleveland. The Browns are now 2-5-1 and couldn’t pull off enough magic in their first game without former head coach Hue Jackson. All of the defensive injuries didn’t help, as the club lose CB E.J.

Fortunately, K Greg Joseph was still able to connect from 51 yards out to make it a 7-3 game.The Browns saw both of their starting cornerbacks, Denzel Ward and E.J. Gaines, go to the locker room to begin the next drive. On the final play of the first quarter, the Chiefs faced a 3rd-and-19 from midfield. For the second time in the game Britton Colquitt Jersey Stitched , Cleveland failed to defend the screen pass, allowing RB Spencer Ware to go 25 yards on the catch-and-run for a first down.

In goal-to-go, Chubb punched it in from 3 yards out to make it a 14-9 game. Interim head coach Gregg Williams opted to go for two, but Mayfield’s pass was intercepted, keeping it a five-point game.Kansas City was not phased. They scored a touchdown on their third consecutive drive to start the game, which included converting their second third-down attempt of the afternoon with the option. Hunt rammed it in from 1 yard out to put the Chiefs up 21-9 with 2:24 left in the first half.Cleveland responded again, with the help of another fourth down conversion (the Chiefs jumped offsides). The utilization of Johnson as a receiver continued, as he broke a tackle for a 19-yard touchdown with 0:26 left to make it 21-15. The two-point try failed again.The Browns’ defense forced a lot more third down situations to start the second half, but Mahomes kept converting each of them.

The Chiefs quickly punched it in with a 10-yard run by Hunt to go up 34-15 (the kicker missed the extra point).Cleveland was putting a drive together Youth Joel Bitonio Jersey , but then Mayfield was dropped for a loss of 13 yards when DE Chris Jones came unblocked for a sack. Faced with a 3rd-and-goal from the 23, QB Tyrod Taylor checked in as Mayfield was evaluated in the medical tent. The screen pass to Njoku went for 11 yards, but an unsportsmanlike penalty on the Chiefs gave the Browns a 1st-and-goal at the 6 yard line. Two carries to Chubb went for a total of 1 yard, setting up 3rd-and-goal from the 5 to begin the fourth quarter.Mayfield returned and fired a quick slant to Johnson for a touchdown to make it a 34-21 game.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Matt Eberflus has a past with the Browns. Maybe he’ll have a future as well.One day after his Indianapolis defense held quarterback Deshaun Watson and Houston’s offense to just seven points in an AFC wild-card win, Eberflus became the sixth candidate to interview for Cleveland’s open coaching job.The Colts’ dominant performance helped Eberflus boost a resume that already included a two-year stint (2009-10) coaching the Browns linebackers on Eric Mangini’s staff.The 48-year-old Eberflus met Sunday with Cleveland general manager John Dorsey and other members of the Browns executive staff, which began its search by meeting with interim coach Gregg Williams on New Year’s Day.Dorsey and his group have also interviewed New England linebackers coach Brian Flores, New Orleans assistant head coach/tight ends coach Dan Campbell, Minnesota offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski and former Detroit and Colts coach Jim Caldwell. Dorsey said last week that he intended to meet with Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens, who was credited with helping rookie Baker Mayfield’s development.The Browns have reportedly asked permission to interview Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni Youth Christian Kirksey Jersey , and Dorsey is expected to meet with former Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy.Cleveland has hired coaches who have worked with the team before. Mangini, Romeo Crennel and Rob Chudzinski were all assistants with the Browns before becoming head coaches.Affectionately known as “Floos” by his players, Eberflus was one of the three assistants hired last year by Josh McDaniels, who agreed to become the Colts coach before changing his mind and staying in New England. General manager Chris Ballard promised to keep the new coaches before hiring Frank Reich, who didn’t know Eberflus. But Reich was convinced to keep him and that decision couldn’t have gone better.Eberflus has worked wonders for a defense that underperformed for years. The Colts steadily improved and finished the regular season ranked No. 11 overall in yards and No. 10 in points. Last season, they ranked 30th in both categories.Eberflus also managed to generate a pass rush despite that being a major concern. Also, Indianapolis has forced turnovers in 16 of 17 games.In Saturday’s win, the Colts sacked Watson three times, harassed him all game and got one interception.Per league rules, the Browns had to wait until after the Colts played before they could interview Eberflus. If they want to hire him, they can’t finalize a contract with him until the Colts’ season ends. Indianapolis plays at Kansas City on Jan. 12.
