Despite achieving a positive outcome in their Week 1 win against the Carolina Panthers, the Cleveland Browns had some key contributors put out some well-below average showings in the two-point victory. Tight end David Njoku was among those who were unable to get off to much of a start during the season opener, and the Browns’ coaching staff is already hard at work figuring out how to make sure there isn’t a re-run of the inadequate performance in Week 2.
Offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt spoke to the media on Thursday about what caused the uncharacteristic showing, telling reporters that he didn’t notice that Carolina did anything special to hold Njoku to just one catch for seven yards.
