Hyde and Chubb each had a touchdown run as well. While the backs got the stats, head coach Hue Jackson also acknowledged the play of the offensive line, according to clevelandbrowns.com:If the Browns can run the ball that way during the regular season, and stay committed to it during games, this offense is going to be a fun one to watch.The passing game? Not so muchWhile the running game thrived, the passing offense took a step back against the Bills. Quarterbacks Tyrod Taylor and Baker Mayfield combined to finish just 11-of-20 for 97 yards. They didn’t turn the ball over, which is nice Womens Darren Fells Jersey , but they also struggled to keep the offense moving consistently after the opening drive. A trio of dubious offensive pass interference penalties did not help the cause, and the pass blocking was less than ideal at times, especially from the second unit, which are areas that need taken care of, as quarterback Tyrod Taylor told clevelandbrowns.com:The Browns emphasized the run game last week in practice and it paid off. Hopefully they can keep doing the same with the passing game to balance out the offense.The first-team defense was dominantThe best performance of the night came from the first-team defense, which completely dominated the Bills offense and quarterback A.J. McCarron. Defensive end Myles Garrett was causing all kinds of problems, defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi had a sack, linebackers Genard Avery and Mychal Kendricks were a nuisance Youth Duke Johnson Jr Jersey , and the secondary was sound.Things started to fall apart once the second- and third-team units got into the game, which took some of the shine off the night, but the top line is starting to show off its potential, as Jackson told clevelandbrowns.com:The game highlighted the fact that the talent level has certainly increased for the Browns as the new guys are blending well with the second- and third-year players that have built the foundation. But it also showed that there is a pretty significant drop off when the starters are not in the game, which given the inevitable injuries that hit teams during the regular season, presents a problem. The Browns next preseason game takes place on August 23 at 8 p.m., when they host the Philadelphia Eagles at FirstEnergy Stadium. Custom San Francisco 49ers Jerseys
