The Browns Nation Station

Host Mark Bergin welcomes in fellow BrownsNation.com writer Pat Opperman and “Clapback Sports” hosts The Maj and Tino Rodriguez to discuss the Browns’ 20-6 win over the Giants on Sunday Night Football.

— Baker Mayfield threw for a “quiet” 297 yards and two touchdowns.

— Browns get their first 10-win season since 2007. It looks like the Browns will end their 17-year playoff drought.
— The Giants’ defense did a good job slowing down Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
— The Maj wonders if Daniel Jones, James Bradberry or Darnay Holmes would have made a difference for the Giants. The three players did not play Sunday night.
— Rodriguez points out how Browns safety Karl Joseph played perhaps his best game of the season against the Giants.
— Myles Garrett is still getting back into game shape and struggling with breathing issues after he missed two games with COVID-19.
— The Browns had two injuries to monitor: Defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson (neck) and offensive lineman Chris Hubbard (knee). Rookie Nick Harris did a nice job filling in after Hubbard’s injury.
— Bergin wonders if Cody Parkey’s kicking struggles are a sign of what’s to come once the Browns begin their playoff run.
— The guys preview the Browns’ and Giants’ playoff chances with two weeks left in the 2020 regular season.

— Poop and rally: Lamar Jackson led the Baltimore Ravens to a thrilling 47-42 win over the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football. Jackson missed time in the fourth quarter because of “cramps.”
— The Browns’ defense cost them in the loss. Their gap discipline against Jackson was poor.
— Ravens kicker Justin Tucker made the game-winning 55-yard field goal. Tucker is historically accurate. He came into the game having made 90.8% of the field goals in his NFL career.
— Baker Mayfield responded well after his first interception in five games. Mayfield scored three touchdowns (two passing and one rushing) after the pick. He proved why the Browns should pick up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract.
— Kicker Cody Parkey missed a 39-yard field goal and an extra point. Those four points could have been a difference-maker.
— What a bad beat for gamblers as the Ravens covered. The Browns were 3-point underdogs, but ended up losing by 5 points after the safety on the final play of the game.
— Browns need to beat both New York teams in the next two weeks. They’ll likely be favored against the New York Giants in Week 15 and against the New York Jets in Week 16. The Browns are looking to ensure a spot in the postseason and break their playoff drought.
— Which quarterback is better long term? Baker Mayfield or Lamar Jackson?
