CLEVELAND BROWNS VS DENVER BRONCOS INSTANT REACTION: DTR hurt - PJ Walker in & Stefanski questions
2023-11-27
The Cleveland Browns and Denver Broncos squared off in a Week 12 matchup with AFC playoff implications on the line.
DTR was making his 2nd consecutive start for the Browns, and in the first half, he played... mehh. He wasn't good. He wasn't bad. He was just ... mehh.
Overall, the offense wasn't able to muster anything serious, with it's only points coming on FGs after sustained drives that featured the run game heavily.
The second of the FGs came on a nice 3 minute drive near the end of the half that stalled on the 7 yard line.
Defensively, Russell Wilson and the Broncos found ways to carve up the Browns defense like very few teams have all season long.
Russ led the Broncos on a 9-play, 80 yard TD drive that was aided by a big completion to Courtland Sutton and capped off by a Semaje Perine TD run.
Later in the half, Russ kept it himself on a 3-yard RPO keeper and scored, making it 14-0. That drive last 12 plays and also spanned 80 yards.
The Browns trailed at the break and Denver starts the second half with the ball.
In the second half, DTR put together the Browns first TD drive of the game, finding Harrison Bryant on a 4th and goal play. Amari Cooper dropped the 2-point conversion play. Denver led 14-12 at this point.
The Broncos followed that up with a scoring drive of their own, marching into the red zone and settling for a FG to make it 17-12.
On the ensuing Browns drive, DTR took a massive shot and PJ Walker stepped in to play as the rookie got medical attention.
Walker already has 2 GW drives this seaosn -- can he make it 3?
