The Browns defense harrassed Brock Purdy all afternoon, allowing him 125 yard passing and forcing his first interception of the season. Walker heeded Brissett's pregame instruction to get the Browns' offense going. Cooper beat his man off the line of scrimmage and Walker heaved the ball up to the receiver, who broke loose for a 58-yard reception, setting up Cleveland's first and only touchdown.: has been around the league for a long time.
: We played behind the sticks, we played right into their hands. They were able to just tee off on our O-line the whole time, bring a ton of pressure and just not give Brock a lot of time. That's what they wanted to do. It's hard to execute longer routes and stuff like that when they're just piling down on you.
: You're going to have to deal with injuries. It happens to every team at certain points. I think we got out of it pretty good but we lost some guys and we need to be more ready to adjust when we do lose guys. I'm sure every single person has multiple plays that they would want back.penalty flags and mistakes gave both teams opportunities to win the game late.
