Browns had their chance vs. Seahawks but ultimately fell short in gut-punching loss

New York Times  

SEATTLE — I knew the Cleveland Browns were going to throw. Kareem Hunt’s role in his new stint with the Browns is to fight for those tough yards, as he did on the game winner last week. The Browns were 6-of-13 in trying to convert third downs ahead of that play, and the only third-and-short run on which they’d been stopped came on the game’s very first possession. Continuity and experience matter, and that showed up in the game’s final 10 plays: Walker’s interception on third down, the Seahawks’ five-play scoring drive, then the Browns’ three misses and a sack on their final possession. That’s only two quick passes ahead of where the Seahawks figure to have started had the Browns been forced to punt at the two-minute warning.
