Live Event : Cleveland Browns vs Chicago Bears 09/26
Only 500 kilometers separate Cleveland from Chicago. But in this week three game in Ohio, the gap between the two teams was much bigger. Worn in particular by a defense that ate raw quarterback rookie Justin Fields (9 sacks, 6/20 pass for 68 yards, 1 yard pass in total), as well as a big running game (215 yards) , the Browns took over the Bears without pushing too hard.
On Sunday November 26th, I was able to attend my first NFL game in a stadium. I really enjoyed watching my team the Cleveland Browns game at their home stadium, the FirstEnergy Stadium. The only downside was the injury of my favourite player (Jarvis Landry).
The game was largely mastered and dominated by the Browns. Indeed, The duo Kareem Hunt - Nick Chubb shows up, Odell Beckham Jr. (5 REC, 77 yards) is back, and Baker Mayfield (19/31 , 246 yards, 1 TD, 31 yards on the ground).
However, the Browns started off with a sluggish game with Beker Mayfield getting sacked twice in a fourth down. The Browns even go so far as to lead 3-0 on a Chicago field goal. What minutes later the Browns decide to wake up through Chase McLaughlin with a magnificent field goal from 57 yards! The Browns also finished the first half in style with a very large drive of 12 games and 89 yards. A drive in which Hunt is particularly illustrated, but also Donovan Peoples-Jones (2 REC, 39 yards), before Austin Hooper found the end zone on a reception of 13 yards (10-3).
The second half is the same ordeal for Justin Fields, the Chicago quarterback who is slaughtered by Myles Garett and the Browns defense throughout the game. The number 27 of the Browns continues his number 2 nd half, in fact, Kareem Hunt literally walks on the defense of the Bears (10 races, 81 yards, 1 TD, 6 REC, 74 yards). The Cleveland running back followed a 23-yard reception and then a huge 29-yard run for a touchdown. 20-6, the gap seems insurmountable for Chicago. And he is.
The Browns easily manage their lead in the fourth quarter, continuing to put pressure on Fields including a Myles Garrett possessed (4.5 sacks), and advancing on the ground behind Nick Chubb (22 races, 84 yards) and Hunt. In score, that made two more field goals for Cleveland, who ended up winning 26-6.
