They're not who they thought they were

The Jags haven't won in 9 games....

 

 

The defense completely shut down the Browns' running game, which was the core of the offense, holding them to just 69 yards. Ben Tate had 36 yards and Isaiah Crowell had 18 yards and the Browns averaged just 2.3 yards per carry. Without a running game the Browns were forced to rely on quarterback Brian Hoyer and the Jaguars were all over him, too. They sacked him twice, forced him to fumble, and intercepted him once, turning both of those turnovers into points. Rookie linebacker Telvin Smith forced both of those turnovers, knocking the ball out of Hoyer's hands on a sack and intercepting a Hoyer pass late in the fourth quarter.

 

 

and in typical Browns fashion...

 

 

On fourth-and-5 at the Jacksonville 43 early in the fourth quarter, the Browns tried to catch Jacksonville napping and rushed the punt team off the field and offense back on. Hoyer wound up running an option play that went nowhere after he pitched to Ben Tate. What looked like a silly call, though, seemed intended more to catch the Jaguars off guard, as Hoyer snapped the ball as a Jaguars player scampered to the sideline. Clearly Hoyer thought the Jaguars had 12 on the field, and so did an official who threw a flag. When the ball was snapped, Hoyer ran and pitched probably figure the Browns would get the first down to penalty. Except the player running off was Jacksonville’s 11th man. Meaning the Browns not only miscounted the number of players, they also did not get the first down against 10 defenders.
