Q2
CLE 17 OAK 14
The Browns could've had one more shot to put points with 23 seconds and all 3 timeouts there. A little conservative from Hue Jackson. Raiders started off great with a Pick 6 from Gareon Conley. Marcus Gilchrist made a nice play on the ball, batting it off Jarvis Landry's hands. Conley, right place right time, secured it and took it all the way to the house. Then, 17 unanswered points from Baker Mayfield and the Browns made it seem like a distant memory. The Raiders were able to strike back with a drive capped off from the Carr to Cooper (AC/DC) connection. They had another solid drive going and then of course Carr throws an INT to stall the drive. That pick wasn't too much on Carr. Jared Cook had a pretty good matchup against the smaller defender. That defender just made a nice play and E.J. Gaines was at the right place, right time to pick it off. The first time this season, the Raiders are trailing. They lead in the first half most of the way through three games and we all know how those games ended up. Maybe a little fortune will turn their way not to blow a game in the 2nd half. We'll see. The 2nd half will open up shortly.
Q1
CLE 3 OAK 7
Poetic to welcome Baker Mayfield to the Black Hole with a Pick 6. That play was well set up by Marcus Gilchrist. Mayfield tried to hit Jarvis Landry with a short pass. But, Gilchrist tipped it. Gareon Conley was at the right place at the right time and picked off that ball to run it in for the TD. Not a bad showing from the defense, despite giving up some chunk plays after that drive. Irvin notched a sack against Mayfield. The defense made a goal line stand to hold the Browns to a field goal. Not a bad start. Now, if only the offense can get going.
