After a dreadful opening game, the Cleveland Browns came out hot in Week 2 with a 16-play, 89-yard touchdown drive on their first offensive possession against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Deshaun Watson rushed for a one-yard gain on a designed quarterback run to cap off an impressive start for Cleveland.
Running back D’Onta Foreman was the featured back early, rushing five times for 17 yards, including an eight-yard run for his longest. Five different receivers caught a pass on the first drive, and Amari Cooper was not one of them. Elijah Moore and Jerry Jeudy each caught two passes, while David Bell and Jordan Akins also had big gains on catches.

Watson looked much more comfortable on the first drive, completing seven of eight passes for 83 yards. Jeudy’s bobbled catch on second-and-20 was the key play to get them out of a tough situation. The Browns will look to build on a great start in this one.
