Cleveland Browns fall short of projections, lose to Las Vegas Raiders, 210.38-191.10
Cleveland Browns failed to bring their A game, falling short of projections, as Las Vegas Raiders secured a 210.38-191.10 victory. Cleveland Browns nabbed a 9.20-point lead on Thursday, but Las Vegas Raiders held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Davante Adams (10 Rec, 146 Rec Yds, 2 Rec TDs) and Kenyan Drake (93 Rush Yds, 2 Rush TDs, 16 Rec Yds). Noah Fant (5 Rec, 96 Rec Yds) and Andy Dalton (210 Pass Yds, 1 Pass TD) did their part for Cleveland Browns in the loss.
