Despite plenty of offensive struggles, the Cleveland Browns pulled off an improbable win over the Baltimore Ravens. Here are the three plays that seemingly decided the game
Week 6 certainly wasn't pretty for the Cleveland Browns in a 13-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens, particularly on offense, where they went to the half with 46 yards of total offense after punting on each of their first five possessions.
But a win is a win, and with a game so tight, Cleveland only needed a few plays to flip the game in its favor. In the second half, those few plays arrived lifting the Browns to 4-2 and first place in the AFC North,
And so here are the handful of plays that ultimately decided the game.
1) Carson Schwesinger Forces A Fumble
Back-to-back weeks where Carson Schwesinger forced a critical turnover that could have decided the game. Fortunately for the Browns, this one did help propel them to victory. L
- Cleveland isn't showing any blitz here, and despite their propensity to play man, they're actually in zone on this play. At the snap, it looks like Cover 4.
- The Ravens are running a trap where they pull the left side guard to lure DT Adin Huntington upfield, then seal him off with a block by the tight end and run right behind that block
- It's a well-executed play by Baltimore that goes for a first down, but one missed block on Carson Schwesinger changes the outcome
- Ravens right tackle Roger Rosengarten can't get horizontal enough to get in front of Scwesinger, who reads it perfectly, avoids the block and makes the tackle on Henry simultaneously forcing the ball out with his hit
- If Schwesinger gets blocked, this is probably just a first down for the Ravens, who are on their way to a promising drive in the fourth quarter. Instead, it's a fumble and the Browns turn it into a game-tying touchdown
2) Deshaun Watson's Tight Window Throw to KC Concepcion
Everyone is talking about Watson's throw to Jerry Jeudy on the game-winning drive, and rightfully so. It's the biggest play of the game. But this one to Concepcion was equally impressive and helped set up the Browns' lone touchdown.
- It's third-and-four and the Browns are still trailing 10-3 and have found very little momentum on offense
- Pre-snap, Ravens head coach Jesse Minter puts seven defenders on the line of scrimmage to show a heavy blitz is coming and the Browns come out in a two-by-two condensed look
- As the ball is snapped, the Ravens do bring extra pressure with six players rushing and the seventh player, DT Nnamdi Madubuike, flashes that he's rushing, then drops into a zone
- The Browns run a mesh concept (two crossing routes) with Concepcion and Isaiah Bond and Watson knows he's going to be throwing hot, with the blitz bearing down on him
- Watson throws with great anticipation to get rid of the ball quickly as soon as Concepcion starts his break
- The throw is so perfectly times that Madubuike is still in his drop and not quite deep enough to make a play on the ball
- After the catch, Bond does a great job getting in front of his defender to shield him from Concepcion and free him up to run after the catch
- Concepcion MAY have been able to score if he bounced this thing outside
3) Jerry Jeudy's Clutch Catch
Alright, here's the play everyone is breaking down and talking about on the internet, and it's yet another special one between Watson and Jeudy in crunch time, and this is a perfect example of having the perfect play call for the coverage being run against you
- Another critical third-down play with Cleveland facing third-and-five here
- The Ravens have five guys walked up to the line but then one drops so it's really just a four-man pressure and they're prioritizing coverage on the back end as they drop into a Tampa-2
- At the snap, per the Tampa-2 rules, safety Kyle Hamilton takes away the seam and runs with Harold Fannin Jr. straight up the middle of the field between the split safeties
- Cleveland is running another mesh concept underneath with Bond and Tylan Wallace, which keeps the Ravens from getting too much depth on their underneath coverage
- Jeudy emerges on a dig route as the second part of a "dagger" concept (a seam + a dig) and cuts into the wide-open window in the middle of the field
- Watson has a perfectly clean pocket and delivers a nice ball to Jeudy, who cuts it up for 33 yards, ultimately setting up Andre Szmyt's game-winning field goal
