Browns Plainly Podcast

In this instant reaction video, the cast of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show give their thoughts on the Browns beating the Brady-less Patriots in OT with a late Chubb TD! We discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the game, and also answer some questions from you, the viewers! Thanks for Watching 

!Nick Chubb scored on a 3-yard touchdown run with 19 seconds left in overtime and Cleveland rallied Sunday to stun Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-17 in Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett's final start before Deshaun Watson returns from his suspension. Chubb powered through a pile of bodies at the goal line as the Browns (4-7) sent Brissett off with a win. Watson, who was banned 11 games by the NFL for sexual misconduct allegations, will start next week in Houston. Chubb's short TD was set up when Brissett connected on a 45-yard pass to wide receiver Amari Cooper, who found himself wide open when Bucs cornerback Carlton Davis III slipped and fell near midfield.

The Browns forced OT on tight end David Njoku's remarkable, one-handed TD catch with 32 seconds left in regulation. Njoku extended his left arm to haul in Brissett's 12-yard scoring strike in the back of the end zone. Brady threw two touchdown passes, but couldn't get anything going in the 10-minute OT as the Bucs (5-6) were unable to keep their momentum going following a bye.

Led by All-Pro end Myles Garrett, who had two sacks, the Browns held Tampa Bay without a point on its final seven possessions. Brady completed 29 of 43 passes for 246 yards and was sacked four times.

Brissett, who began his career as one of Brady's backups in New England, went 23 of 37 for 210 yards. Chubb finished with 116 yards on 26 carries. Brady opened the second half completing his first six passes, including a 28-yarder to Mike Evans, who became the first Tampa Bay player to reach 10,000 yards receiving. The Buccaneers took a 17-10 lead when Brady connected with rookie Ko Kieft on a 5-yard scoring pass. It was the 638th TD pass for Brady, and No. 1 for Kieft, who is listed as the team's fourth-string tight end.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will try to extend their two-game winning streak when they face the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon. Tampa Bay was in a rut last month, but it has bounced back with wins over the Rams and Seahawks. Cleveland has lost six of its last seven games, falling to Buffalo in a 31-23 final last week.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET. Tampa Bay is favored by 3.5 points in the latest Browns vs. Buccaneers odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under is set at 42. Before entering any Buccaneers vs. Browns picks, you'll want to see the NFL predictions from the model at SportsLine.

Cleveland will be happy to return home after a tough two-game road trip against the Dolphins and Bills. The Browns picked up a 32-13 win against Cincinnati in their last home game, and they also beat Pittsburgh at home earlier this season. Tampa Bay has not been on the road since losing to Pittsburgh and Carolina last month.

Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been solid of late, approaching career highs with 324 passing yards and three touchdowns last week. He has now thrown for five touchdowns and rushed for another while not throwing an interception in his last three games. Tampa Bay has been a team to avoid this year, covering the spread just once in its last eight games.

Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has been in the news for all of the wrong reasons for well over a year. He remains suspended by the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct policy but is set to play later this season for Cleveland. Here we answer the question as to when will Deshaun Watson return and be back on the field for the Browns. We will also go over how long his suspension is and cover the latest news on him and the Browns.

One of the major offseason storylines in the NFL centered around how long the suspension for Deshaun Watson would last. The NFL and the NFLPA reached a settlement back on August 18 for Watson to serve an 11-game suspension without pay. As for when will Deshaun Watson return and be back on the football field for the Browns, he is set to make his debut for the franchise on December 4. The Week 13 game will take place in Houston, the place Watson called home for five years, as the Browns will square off against the Texans. Here is the timetable for Watson’s return to the field with the stretch of games he is poised to play in, barring injury.

Week 13: Sunday, December 4 Browns vs. Texans

Week 14: Sunday, December 11 Browns vs. Bengals

Week 15: Sunday, December 18 Ravens vs. Browns

Week 16: Saturday, December 24 Saints vs. Browns

Week 17: Sunday, January 1 Browns vs. Commanders

Week 18: Sunday, January 8 Browns vs. Steelers

The Browns’ bye week comes in Week 9 of this season and is sandwiched between games against the Bengals and at the Dolphins. Jacoby Brissett has been the Browns’ starter under center in Watson’s absence. Watson returned to the Browns practice facilities on October 10 and can begin participating in team practices, fully, on November 14. Cleveland’s coaching staff worked in conjunction with Watson’s throwing coach, Quincy Avery, in late August and early September to create “an individualized plan, and throwing scripts, to keep Watson sharp while he’s away from the team,” according to SI.com’s Albert Breer. “Watson and Avery will conduct sessions to include field drills, film and board work four days per week,” Breer wrote on September 5.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers return from their bye week with clear minds and a very clear vision of what lies ahead. It's a seven-week sprint to the finish line, with their playoff hopes hanging in the balance from game to game, and it starts with a trip to the shores of Lake Erie.

The Buccaneers begin this stretch run with a 5-5 record and a half-game lead on the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South, which demonstrates the tenuous nature of the team's playoff grip and how easily it can change from week to week. They will be facing a 3-7 Cleveland Browns team that is more dangerous than its record suggests, which the Cincinnati Bengals discovered just a few weeks ago in a 32-13 drubbing. The Browns run the ball well and they run it often, and their defense is spearheaded by Myles Garrett, undeniably one of the most dangerous edge rushers in the NFL.

Cleveland hasn't played at home since that big win over their division rivals, which was followed by a bye week and road losses to the Dolphins and Bills. That last contest was an unusual one, as a monstrous snowstorm forced the game to be moved from Buffalo to Cleveland. After all of the Browns are surely eager to be back home at FirstEnergy Stadium, where they also beat Pittsburgh earlier in the season.

The Buccaneers are hoping to duplicate the pattern that led to their Super Bowl LV victory two seasons ago. That 2020 squad came out of its bye week with five losses and never suffered another defeat, running off eight straight to capture the Lombardi Trophy. The eventual champs finally clicked on offense after their Week 13 bye and started creating turnovers in bunches on defense. The 2022 team isn't necessarily going to run the table again – that would be an extremely bold prediction – but the same post-bye improvements as the 2020 team showed on offense and defense would certainly increase the possibility of the Bucs holding off the Falcons and any other contender for the NFC South title.

Another part of the winning puzzle for the 2020 Bucs was good health, a common defining factor of championship teams and one that utterly disappeared in the team's attempt at a title defense in 2021. This year's Buccaneers have already endured a significant number of injuries to key players – and top edge rusher Shaq Barrett has been lost for the year – but might actually be coming out of the bye as healthy as they have been all season.

On defense, the return of Akiem Hicks up front has made a noticeable impact on the Buccaneers' run defense – a key issue this week as it was in Munich against Seattle – and safety Antoine Winfield, one of the team's best playmakers at any level, is back from a concussion. On offense wide receivers Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are rounding into form after working through injuries, red zone threat Cam Brate is back in the mix and the team might also be getting Giovani Bernard back from a long absence in Week 12. Wide receiver Russell Gage and guard Luke Goedeke came out of the bye and returned to practice after missing several games and could also be adding reinforcements this week. There is the new concern of Leonard Fournette's hip pointer from the Seattle game, but rookie running back Rachaad White is emerging as a back who can handle the load as well.

The Buccaneers might also be in the best place they've been all season mentally. Rousing wins over the Rams and Seahawks not only gave the team a sense of momentum heading into the bye, but the extra time to study and reflect on those games led to an increased sense of confidence. The Bucs come out of the break believing they've finally pieced together a winning formula, and they believe they can duplicate it. And they have a great sense of urgency to prove that is true.

In this video Garrett Bush of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show and Jeff Lloyd of the Locked On Browns Podcast discuss the current state of the Cleveland Browns and their starting quarterback, Jacoby Brissett. You might be surprised to know just how good Jacoby Brissett has been since joining the Browns in December. Tune in to find out why I think he's been so successful and whether or not the Browns can keep this up. If you're a Browns fan, this is a must-watch video!

Jacoby Brissett has Taken Flawed Browns Team as Far as He's Capable. Cleveland Browns quarterback Jacoby Brissett lit up the stat sheet with 324 yards passing and three touchdowns, but the team still fell short. It's an indictment of the defense and special teams, but it shows the limitations of a Brissett-led offense. Jacoby Brissett completed 68.2 percent of his passes, threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns and it wasn't enough to defeat the Buffalo Bills.. He did everything he could to help the Browns win this game and it wasn't enough to win, which is every bit an indictment of the current team in addition to illustrating what the Browns are still missing at the quarterback position.

Brissett has overperformed expectations and negated any further conversations about acquiring another veteran quarterback. He's been valuable in a leadership role and excelled enough that Deshaun Watson was an after thought for most of his suspension, which was critical on a number of fronts.

But baked into some of the success Brissett is having is the fact that defenses are allowing it by focusing all of their attention on stopping the bigger threat in running back Nick Chubb. Brissett threw for 324 yards and Chubb rushed for just 19 yards. Chubb chipped in 48 receiving yards, which was a pleasant surprise.

The Browns had seven offensive drives that produced a combined three points. They were bookended by the first drive of the game which scored a touchdown, a Browns staple, and the last two drives that resulted in touchdowns when the Browns attempted to engineer a comeback. Brissett isn't the major reason the Browns didn't capitalize on those seven drives. He would've had another touchdown pass had either tight end Harrison Bryant or Pharaoh Brown been able to come down with back to back passes that hit them in the hands.

The botched snap fumble had more to with Hjalte Froholdt playing at center in place of Ethan Pocic, who left the game with a knee injury. Brissett had nothing to do with the blocked field goal but he was involved in the drive that necessitated the attempt.

The problem is that they struggle with consistency. Too much needs to go right with Brissett in order for them to succeed. A holding penalty, false start or sack too often ends an offensive drive for the Browns. Brissett was sharp in this game, but teams count on the fact that he's going to miss a few shots like the one to Bryant where he had a chance to catch a touchdown in the back of the end zone but couldn't get the second foot down as a result of a high throw caused by pressure.

Brissett has done everything the Browns have asked. He is the quarterback that was in place as Amari Cooper proved to be the number one receiver the team has needed for years, saw David Njoku become a franchise tight end the Browns have desperately needed him to become and helped Donovan Peoples-Jones take the next step in his development, which may lead to a contract extension of his own. Brissett deserves credit for putting the offense in the position that Watson doesn't need to work miracles in order to succeed. If it's feasible Brissett can stay on as the backup for the Browns, that could be a move that is not only good karma for the Browns, but could a good will gesture that means something to the rest of the locker room. Nevertheless, Brissett is a backup for a reason.

The Browns aren't mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, but the outlook is bleak after their loss to the Bills on Sunday to drop to 3-7. Assuming they don't make a run, what is there left for fans to watch as they play out the string?

It's one of the questions our Football Insider subscribers has on today's Hey, Mary Kay! edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast. Mary Kay and Dan Labbe discuss this question and more.

Will Joe Woods survive until the end of the season? If not, who could replace him? What's the future at both tackle positions? What would Mary Kay advise Andrew Berry to do this offseason?

In this instant recap, Garrett Bush, Jeff Lloyd and John Kosko go inside the Cleveland Browns vs. Buffalo Bills matchup and give their thoughts on the game and deliver the Highest and Lowest PFF Grades . The Browns started off strong, but eventually cooled off and lost the game 31-23. As always on the UCSS Postgame Show, we'll give our analysis and opinions on the game, as well as all the key details you need to know. Make sure to check out our full Cleveland Browns vs. Buffalo Bills recap to get all the information you need!

The Cleveland Browns started its game against the Buffalo Bills in style as Jacoby Brissett connected with Amari Cooper on a long touchdown pass on the opening drive. Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs & the rest of the Bills offense was non-existent for the majority of the first half, but Allen found the end zone for the first time in the final seconds of the half to give Buffalo momentum heading into the break.

The second half was all Buffalo, as the Bills shook off any snowstorm rust and fired on all cylinders down the stretch. Sean McDermott's squad needed a win after two consecutive losses entering this contest, and are now 7-3 on the year. With the loss, the Browns fall to 3-7 on the season with one game remaining before Deshaun Watson returns to action.
