The coach changed. Everything else with the Cleveland Browns

stayed the same.Unable to slow Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City's thrill-a-minute offense Youth Denzel Ward Jersey , the Browns were soundly beaten — and beaten up — in a 37-21 loss on Sunday in Cleveland's first game under interim coach Gregg Williams.Mahomes threw two touchdown passes to Cleveland native Travis Kelce and Kareem Hunt, another local kid who drove past FirstEnergy Stadium almost every day, scored three TDs as the Chiefs (8-1) overpowered the banged-up Browns (2-6-1) while sending them to their fourth straight loss.It doesn't figure to get better anytime soon for Cleveland, which had three more defensive starters get injured.The pain isn't going away."We have to keep going — next man up," defensive end Myles Garrett said. "We have to do the best with what we have."The loss ended another tumultuous few days for the Browns, whose promising 2-2-1 start has dissolved into more disarray.Still, rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield managed to extract some positives. He passed for 297 yards and two touchdowns."Offensively, I think there was a lot more good in this game than we had in the past," said Mayfield, who twice connected with running back Duke Johnson on scores. "There is a lot to build on, but there is obviously so much more room for improvement. When you are playing a team like that, you have to stay in the game."You have to give yourself chances. You have to do the little things right. You have to chip away, take time off of the clock just because of the offense that they have. There was a lot of good on offense, but we just have to keep getting better."Cleveland's hopes of staying with the Chiefs took a major hit when defensive backs Damarious Randall (groin), E.J. Gaines (concussion) and Denzel Ward (hip) were sidelined by injuries. Randall was scratched before the kickoff, and after Gaines and Ward went down in the first quarter, linebacker Christian Kirksey (hamstring) got hurt.Stopping the Chiefs with a full roster is tough.Short-handed http://www.authenticsclevelandbrowns.com/cheap-joe-schobert-jersey , it's impossible.The Browns were already missing Pro Bowl linebacker Joe Schobert, who sat out his third game in a row with a hamstring injury."The biggest thing that really affected us was that we lost two of our starting corners in the first drive," cornerback T.J. Carrie said. "That definitely put us in a different situation. We practice with those guys throughout the week, and when those guys go down, it changes the game plan. They are a high-powered offense, and I don't think we did a good job at all stopping their momentum."The injuries put more pressure on Williams, who did not relinquish his duties as defensive coordinator after being asked to replace Hue Jackson, who was fired on Monday along with offensive coordinator Todd Haley.The Browns may have been outmanned by the more talented Chiefs, but Williams liked how his players fought through a week full of adversity."I never saw any flinch," he said. "Never saw a flinch today. Never saw body language poor today. You have to build on that. This is the National Football League. There are no excuses. You have to continue to get better. You have to. We all have to."Williams set an early tone for his shell-shocked team with a fourth-down gamble on Cleveland's first possession. The Browns converted then, but Williams' choice to go for a 2-point conversion in the second quarter resulted in the Browns chasing points all afternoon.Cleveland went 0 for 3 on conversion tries.Following the game, Mayfield and Mahomes met at mid-field and shared a hug and some words of encouragement. They've been friends for years, college rivals and part of the NFL's next wave of young quarterbacks.While Mahomes appears to have it all — more talented teammates, a stable franchise — right now, Mayfield doesn't think the Browns have to try to replicate Kansas City's offense."What we do is perfectly fine," he said. "We just have to be better at it. They have guys who are making their plays. Their quarterback is putting it in the right spot. He is giving them a chance to win. We just have to be better. We are not going to abandon ship with what we are doing and try to do the Chiefs offense. We just have to trust our guys, trust our playmakers and do our job."Browns’ offensive snap counts Youth Baker Mayfield Jersey , stats, and PFF notes: Week 2 Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints.QuarterbackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsLike it or not, what you’ve seen with Tyrod Taylor over the first two games is basically the type of quarterback you are going to see as long as he is the starter. He was at his best on Sunday throwing over the middle. His mid-range passes to either sideline were below average. I also love judging a quarterback based on ball placement — i.e. how easy they make it for the receiver to effortlessly catch a pass in stride. He’s not very good at that.I still appreciate the confident presence that Taylor provides for Cleveland, but I’d be lying if I said the other part of my brain was already pondering when a switch to Baker Mayfield could be coming.Running BackPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsThis was very much the same type of distribution as last week for the running backs.If you would’ve told me that in two games, Duke Johnson only had 3 receptions, I would have started laughing to death in disbelief. But that is reality (although he did draw a pass interference flag in the end zone, setting up the Browns’ first touchdown).Nick Chubb had two good carries again. The offense seems to be in the middle of a good flow when he gets those touches over the first two weeks.Wide ReceiverPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsThe Browns stayed with a three-man receiving group after the late news about Josh Gordon. It seems like Jarvis Landry had more catches than he did.Two of Antonio Callaway’s catches came in the final two minutes of the game. The speed he showed on that fourth down touchdown to haul it in by his fingertips? Oh my god. It reminded me of when we first got excited about Josh Gordon way back in 2012.Rashard Higgins had a drop, but is still getting involved in the offense regularly.Tight EndPosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsFor the second week in a row, the Browns just aren’t able to connect with David Njoku for a downfield play that would make him worthy of being a first-round pick. This week, one playaction pass was designed to get him on the deep fade, but pressure forced Taylor to overthrow it. He also dropped a pass, and then was the intended target on Taylor’s interception in the fourth quarter.Darren Fells had a couple of catches on quick stick routes. Seth DeValve was out due to injury.Offensive LinePosPlayerPlays%StatsPosPlayerPlays%StatsThe Browns allowed 3 sacks and 4 quarterback hits on the day. If I recall correctly, there was not a single false start or hold on the unit all game, and Taylor usually had plenty of time to throw.Per PFF, Joel Bitonio and Kevin Zeitler combined to allow zero pressures. They also said that Saints rookie DE Marcus Davenport “showed some promise” against rookie LT Desmond Harrison. Custom Philadelphia Eagles Jerseys
