Cleveland Browns come up short of expectations, lose to Miami Dolphins, 247.32-215.96

There's no sugarcoating it, Cleveland Browns dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as Miami Dolphins earned a 247.32-215.96 victory. Miami Dolphins grabbed an early 26.40-point lead on Thursday. Cleveland Browns bounced back to take the lead early afternoon Sunday, powered by Nick Chubb (23.7 points) and Leighton Vander Esch (17). Not to be deterred, Miami Dolphins made a run later that night, as Raheem Mostert (24.9 points) and Tua Tagovailoa (22.22) put them back in the lead once and for all. Miami Dolphins (5-2) will look to earn another W against Denver Broncos, while Cleveland Browns (4-3) try to get some positive momentum against New York Jets.
