Cleveland Browns come up short of expectations, succumb to Los Angeles Chargers, 291.52-248.48

There's no easy way to say it, Cleveland Browns didn't do their job, at least compared to projections, as Los Angeles Chargers came back for a 291.52-248.48 win. Los Angeles Chargers trailed 236.58-224.72 heading into Monday night, but the squad roared back behind Terry McLaurin (8 Rec, 128 Rec Yds) and Javon Hargrave (13 Tackles, 1 Sack). Dalvin Cook (40.1 points) and Zaire Franklin (18) led the charge for Cleveland Browns in the loss. Los Angeles Chargers (7-3) will look to keep it rolling against Miami Dolphins, while Cleveland Browns (5-5) face Indianapolis Colts in an effort to get back on track.

Coach Talk

Los Angeles Chargers
Nice job assembling a starting crew that won by more than 43 points this past week. We did what we needed to do and took care of business. We should take this win in stride, tip our cap to the GM of Cleveland Browns, and continue our march towards the AFC FRANCHISE DYNASTY league title.
Cleveland Browns
Fortunately, this week's problem is pretty easy to identify, Cleveland Browns. Starting Derion Kendrick in a tough fantasy matchup... let's all put this behind us and move on?
