Cleveland Browns Week 3

Week 3 of the 2013 NFL season gives us the Cleveland Browns traveling to Minnesota to play the Vikings. Each team had a long opening drive with the browns kicking a field goal first, and then the vikings making one as time expired in the first. Then the game of field position took over with multiple three and outs and a browns missed field goal from 53 yards. Matt Cassell was sacked by Jabaal Sheard and broke his collarbone causing back up Christian Ponder to enter the game. The next play he threw an interception to Buster Skrine and the browns were able to kick a field goal before we went to halftime with a 6-3 lead in Minnesota. The second half kicked off with another punt and that was the theme of this game as the browns would punt five times and the vikings would punt 7. For the third straight week Brandon Weeden and Josh Gordon would connect on a touchdown this time from 17 yards to give the browns a 13-3 lead. a field goal from each team to conclude the fourth quarter would give the browns their second win this season and in a row. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was held under 100 yards for the first time this season and Trent Richardson fell one yard short of crossing the 100 yard mark for the first time this season. The chemistry between Josh Gordon and Brandon Weeden is looking like they worked hard together in the off-season and is paying off early.
The Browns will play the Bengals next week in a North division clash.
