The Cleveland Browns team, which stunned the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8, was nowhere to be seen in the game, losing 27-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers.

It was a frustrating afternoon at Huntington Bank Field for the hometown Browns, who had a golden opportunity to extend the home stretch of the season after a Week 10 bye. Instead, a 2-7 record will likely shift the team’s priorities ahead of Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline.

A week after the Browns offense put up more than 400 yards of total offense, 321 of which came through the air, Cleveland’s offense is back to the unit that barely had a pulse through the first seven weeks of the season. Ken Dorsey’s team made five 3-pointers, converted just 35% of its third downs, and amassed just 292 yards of total offense; Some of this was in garbage time by the time the game was well established.

Much of this can be attributed to the full Jameis Winston experience. Last week, the veteran quarterback sparked a 29-point effort, throwing for 334 yards and three touchdowns. He followed that with a three-interception, one-touchdown performance against the Chargers. The score alone came too late in the game to mean anything.

It was a far cry from the Joe Flacco-like run many fans had hoped to see channel Winston.

Winston’s struggle in these three elections took place in the second half. But the game was actually in pretty good shape before then, thanks to a number of costly mistakes in defence.

The first came on the Chargers’ second possession of the game. Cleveland’s defense benched Justin Herbert and his staff on third-and-21 after Shelby Harris and Dalvin Tomlinson made sacks a play earlier. Ready to force a Chargers field goal, Joshua Palmer, with the help of a late safety Juan Thornhill, passed Denzel Ward down the sideline and scored a backbreaking 28-yard field goal with no one around.

One miscommunication problem is bad enough, but the second one came right midway through the second quarter. Similarly, this time it was Chargers WR Quentin Johnston running past Ward on the sideline. Thornhill’s drop was in the middle of the field, leaving him in no position to make the necessary ground to approach Johnston.

The Browns’ three-and-out was followed by another Chargers touchdown one series later. It was a scene that told the story of the game as Los Angeles jumped out to a 20-3 lead at halftime and even into the fourth quarter before the final score came late in the fourth quarter.

And so the Browns enter their bye week with many of the same questions they asked before beating the Ravens, which proved to be only a temporary distraction from the reality they were experiencing. By 16:00 on Tuesday, this team could look. slightly different.
