They totally curb-stomped the Browns to stay undefeated
The Browns managed only 78 net passing yards, Mayfield was 8-for-22 with two pics, a lost fumble, and a lot of sack yardage.
One positive thing on the Browns: they had a helluva punting game. In this game alone, Gillan had a 68-yarder and a 71. Those now represent two of the five longest punts of the year. OK, it’s not much, but it’s a good thing they had that, considering how many times they had to punt from deep in their own territory in this game. The game was 31-3, but it probably could have been a lot worse.
That punter is a rookie who played his college ball at Arkansas – Pine Bluff. Who knew they even had a team? (Well, I guess L.C. Greenwood knew, because he also graduated from that school.) Do they have enough students to field both a football team and a band? I’ll bet they do double duty and change uniforms for the halftime show. (Baritone voice: “Here’s number 99, playing linebacker and trombone, and also the night manager at the local 7-Eleven …”) They must be in about Division Twelve. I looked them up and their opponents include such fearsome powers as Lane College and Langston University. (I didn’t make those names up. They are tiny schools which are part of of the HBCU network.)
Around here, Gillan is known as the Scottish Hammer. Pretty good nickname as far as punters go. And yes, he’s from Scotland.
