Before we get to the stats that breakdown the Cleveland Browns home opening 33-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys today at the stadium, the easy cop out for fans will always be, “The Offensive Line was banged up”. And while yes, this is true, if Watson was truly, “elite” like we are conditioned to believe he is, then he needs to overcome a shaky line. Bernie Kosar did, Brett Farve did and John Elway overcame one of the worst lines of all time to win 2 Super Bowls. The excuses must stop.
What that being said, let’s get to the stats that explain the loss the most, and also give fans the biggest cause for alarm on page two.
