New York Jets defeat Cleveland Browns 17-12
The New York Jets defeated the Cleveland Browns 17-12 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, ending Cleveland’s three-game winning streak. Deshaun Watson, who had orchestrated three consecutive fourth-quarter game-winning drives, was unable to extend his streak as the Browns' offense struggled in rain-soaked conditions.
Watson completed 15 of 33 passes for 155 yards and one touchdown pass to rookie Denzel Boston. However, the Jets' defense heavily pressured Watson, recording eight sacks during the game. The Jets secured the win after Braelon Allen scored a 22-yard touchdown run to take a 17-12 lead. On the Browns' final possession, Will McDonald IV recorded a strip-sack on Watson to seal the victory.
The Browns finished the game with a season-low 198 total yards. Analysts noted that the team's offensive deficiencies, including an inconsistent running game and difficulty under pressure, were exposed by the Jets' defense. Cleveland moves to a 3-2 record and will next host the Baltimore Ravens.
