Cleveland Browns hand Seattle Seahawks ninth straight loss, 48-44

Cleveland Browns secured a 48-44 win to hand Seattle Seahawks their ninth straight loss. Seattle Seahawks earned a 19-point lead on Thursday behind a stellar performance from Antonio Gibson (115 Rush Yds, 3 Rush TDs, 21 Rec Yds). But Cleveland Browns held the lead the rest of the way, powered by the Miami Dolphins defense, who allowed only 3 points, surrendered 260 yards, and intercepted 2 passes for 9 points, and Cody Parkey, who made both of his FG attempts (9 points). Cleveland Browns (8-4) will look to earn another win against Dallas Cowboys, while Seattle Seahawks (3-9) meet Denver Broncos in an effort to get back on track.
