Penalties play a big role in this one as lack of both discipline and attention to detail continues for the good guys. Unlike Wesley Snipes in White Men Can't Jump, the Browns *don't* play better when they're mad:

Steelers 27 Browns 13

There's a joke in here somewhere about being "in the zone", but I can't find it...
 
So we've experienced the ultimate high of a game winning kick, and the utter humiliation of blowing a "can't lose" game in the final seconds.

I have no expectations for tonight. Browns can either restore order or send the season into a spiral.

Either way I'll have my alcohol ready.
 
The way this season has gone so far... fully expect the Browns to come out looking strong. Trubisky gets benched, and Kenny Pickett with his baby hands comes into the game and finds a way to beat us.

It was written.
 
There's a lot of outside momentum building for us. It sort of feels like a rally.

 
Take: Najee Harris is a very good RB, who was a poor first-round pick regardless because he's an RB. We just think he's bad because of fantasy football. He lost check-down Ben and is running behind the worst offensive line in the league in a bottom 10 offense. All this without mentioning he's playing through injury.

I think my biggest issue with Harris is one that he can’t correct without concerted effort. I agree entirely that he’s not a bum or Trent Richardson 2.0

But his strides are so abnormally long, and if he used a lot smaller strides, he’d be able to change direction at a significantly faster rate. Lot of All 22 of him overrunning cut back lanes that you can tell he sees, but can’t get to due to stride.

What makes, IMO, Hunt and Chubb so tremendous is that no hole is unreachable because of their ability to change the stride. I never really thought about its importance until very recently.

He has excellent vision, size, efficiency, size-adusted athleticism, and pass-catching ability by all metrics so it doesn't seem like his stride length matters much at all. I'd rather have Chubb for sure but the only reason anyone's down on Najee is that he was a predictably bad fantasy pick this year due to the offensive environment. Fantasy points aside, his only negative mark as a prospect was his age entering the draft.
