00:03
We saw tremendous market movement for the Browns hosting the Jaguars.
00:06
It's because Trevor Lawrence lined up and started in that football game despite
00:12
the injury to the ankle in the Monday night disaster against the Cincinnati Bengals.
00:17
But because T-Law was there, did not result in a Jacksonville win.
00:22
And earlier in the week, the total was at 30 and a half.
00:25
It closed at 36 and a half, and it should have been much more than that.
00:29
The Browns win 31-27 at home in front of the dog pound,
00:35
covering as a short one and a half point favorite.
00:38
Joe Flacco threw for more than 300 yards.
00:41
The Browns turned over the Jags four times,
00:44
including intercepting Trevor Lawrence three separate times.
00:48
Cleveland, now eight and five, the top seed in the AFC wildcard chase.
00:52
That number five spot overall in the AFC playoff picture.
00:56
The Jaguars have dropped two in a row, they are also eight and five.
01:01
>> Yeah, I'm worried a little bit about the Jaguars here,
01:03
because with Trevor Lawrence,
01:04
that ankle injury can always flare up at any time with a high ankle sprain.
01:07
I was actually surprised he gave it a go.
01:08
But by the way, it did look pretty mobile in the pocket.
01:11
You're right, you can't turn the football over four times on the road and
01:14
expect to win, even if the Cleveland Browns turned it over three times themselves.
01:18
But the one thing we're getting out of Joe Flacco here is apparently he's not in
01:21
there, Ben, to be a game manager.
01:23
If that would have been the case,
01:24
we had big leads throughout that game for the Cleveland Browns.
01:27
You would be throwing 45 times in a game when you know usually
01:31
the Cleveland Browns are built on the ground.
01:33
But the thing I like to see here, we know David Njoku,
01:35
six catches, 91 yards and two touchdowns.
01:37
He's an explosive tight end.
01:39
It seemed like he was really, I don't wanna say in the background at that point.
01:43
But stepping up and saying the whole field is now eligible to catch passes here,
01:47
because Flacco's got a big time arm.
01:49
Omari Cooper left last week with a concussion after getting two catches for
01:52
28 yards on the first drive.
01:54
He added one more a little bit later in that game, but
01:56
now he goes seven for 77 here.
01:58
I like what I'm seeing out of the Browns.
01:59
They're not even relying on defense, Ben.
02:01
They're relying on offense, which is supposed to be the exact opposite here.
02:04
But that's a big win.
02:05
If we expected the Cleveland Browns to dip out of the playoff hunt,
02:08
that's not the case anymore.
02:09
And right now the Jacksonville Jaguars, so
02:12
lucky that the Jets took down the Houston Texans.
02:14
Otherwise, it'd be full blown panic mode down there in Duval County.
