Browns defeat Giants with struggling offensive performance by New York
Cleveland Browns Extend Winning Streak, Edge Past New York Giants in Primetime
The Cleveland Browns secured a hard-fought victory against the New York Giants in a primetime matchup, marking their first 10-game winning streak since 2007. The final score was 20-6 in favour of the Browns.
In the first half, the Browns' offense, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield, showed its potency, scoring two touchdowns on three drives. Austin Hooper and Jarvis Landry were among those finding the end zone for the Browns. In contrast, the Giants' offense, under the leadership of Colt McCoy, struggled to find the same success, failing to score touchdowns on three consecutive trips into the red zone, settling for three points instead.
Mayfield completed 27-of-32 passes for 297 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating a strong performance. The Giants' McCoy, on the other hand, completed 19-of-31 passes for 221 yards.
Despite having a backup quarterback, head coach Joe Judge attempted an aggressive attack against the Browns. However, this strategy did not yield the desired results, and the Giants trailed by 10 at halftime, 13-3.
The Giants managed to score a field goal in the fourth quarter, reducing the deficit to 17-6, but it was not enough to mount a comeback. The Browns' second drive of the night, spanning 95 yards, resulted in a touchdown by Nick Chubb, increasing their lead to 17 points early in the fourth quarter.
The Giants' loss keeps them a game behind the Washington Football Team in the NFC East. The Browns, with their record now standing at 10-4, are on the brink of ending a 17-year playoff drought.
In a separate preseason game, the Cleveland Browns faced the Carolina Panthers, winning 30-10. Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders led the team to three touchdowns, showcasing promising potential with several successful short throws, mobility to avoid sacks, and good pocket presence.
The New York Giants, meanwhile, secured a victory in their preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills, but detailed performance analysis focused mostly on the Giants vs. Bills game rather than any Giants vs. Browns matchup.
| Team | Opponent | Result | Key Performance Notes | |----------------|------------------|---------|---------------------------------------------------| | Cleveland Browns | Carolina Panthers | Won 30-10 | QB Shedeur Sanders threw for 3 touchdowns, showed mobility and promising rookie performance | | New York Giants | Buffalo Bills | Won | Strong start to preseason with impressive rookie showings (no Browns game reported) |
In the NFL preseason, the Cleveland Browns continued their impressive form, winning against the Carolina Panthers 30-10, with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders displaying promising potential. On the other hand, American football fans watched the New York Giants triumph over the Buffalo Bills in their preseason opener, yet the focus was primarily on the Giants-Bills game, with less attention on the Giants' previous match against the Browns in the regular season.
