Browns beaten up by injuries, then beaten by Dolphins in OT

September 26 23:00 2016

Against the Browns, who came into Sunday’s game as one of the NFL’s worst third-down defenses, the Dolphins converted 2-of-10 third-down attempts. Then they handed off the ball to Jay Ajayi and.

Kessler was alright in his regular season debut because he had a whole week to prepare for the game.

Kessler, though, took some shots from the Dolphins. They’re at Cincinnati on Thursday. The Browns had a golden chance to win after Corey Lemonier stripped the ball from Tannehill and recovered the fumble himself with 20 seconds left. He made the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2014, when he scored 150 points and made 32 of 36 field-goal tries. The decision seemed unwise – a Dolphins touchdown would have ended the game – but it proved wise when the Dolphins punted. Star receiver Jarvis Landry got behind coverage a few times in big moments, however, and he was the difference.

As the two teams came back to the field for the second half, it was largely a repeat of the first half. Instead, the Browns fell to 0-3 as they head to Washington on Sunday.

Cleveland took possession with 6:17 remaining at its own 6-yard line. But Wake was flagged for an offside. The game in Cincinnati will be Miami’s final road game until November 13 when they travel to San Diego to play the Chargers.

Despite the turnovers, Tannehill threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns. They’re not paying all those guys and keeping them around to almost lose to the Browns before saying they salvaged something of a season by leaving the day with a 1-2 record.

Parkey signed after kicker Patrick Murray hurt his knee in a walkthrough Friday, and the Browns newcomer arrived in Miami without taking a single kick with the team. In fact, many likely began to worry when the team trailed 13-10 going into halftime.

It’s hard to be mad about the Cleveland Browns dropping an overtime game on the road against the Miami Dolphins, 30-24. Franks’ kick capped a 10-play, 56-yard drive. Tannehill, under pressure from defensive end Tyrone Holmes, who appeared to beat right tackle Ja’Wuan James, threw a pass that no one was near but Boddy-Calhoun. He missed three of his six field goal attempts including a game-winning 46-yard attempt.

Right tackle Ja’Wuan James was pulled from the game after allowing a sack of Ryan Tannehill near the end of regulation that led to a fumble and was replaced by Billy Turner.

Rush Game: RB Isaiah Crowell led the Browns rushing with 79 yards on 15 carries, including a long run of 25 yards.

They were – all three of his misses were to the left, one off the upright.

One thing was clear in Gase’s message to the team and during his meeting with reporters and that was his frustration level with the Dolphins’ inconsistent play. Kicker Cody Parkey had a day to forget in Miami. The Ohio State University product was also 3-5 for 35 passing yards.
