Ravens Rivals: Takeaways from the AFC North after week four
By Davis Baker
Cleveland Browns: The Odell Beckham game:
Cleveland Browns fans have every right to be on their high horse this week. Finally, the Browns put it all together on Sunday, in AT&T Stadium, against the Dallas Cowboys. Odell Beckham Jr. played his best game so far in a Browns uniform, racking up154 all-purpose yards and scoring three touchdowns. I’m not sure if it was playing in a familiar place or the early touchdown catch on a pass from his good friend and fellow wide receiver Jarvis Landry, but this was prime Giants Odell Beckham showing up for Cleveland.

The Browns continued to run the ball effectively, gaining 307-yards on the ground, with big games from Kareem Hunt and D’Ernest Johnson. The worst part about this game for the Browns was that they lost star running back Nick Chubb, who went down with a knee injury. It was later reported that it was an MCL injury for Chubb, who will head to IR. Fortunately for Cleveland, it does not appear to be season-ending.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network:
#Browns RB Nick Chubb suffered an MCL sprain in his knee during yesterday’s win, coach Kevin Stefanski said, but the injury is not season-ending.

The Browns struggled on defense in the second half against a talented group of Cowboys receivers. Dak Prescott threw for 502-yards and four touchdowns in an impressive comeback attempt for the Cowboys. The bright spot on Cleveland’s defense was Myles Garrett. Garrett is on his way to becoming a top-three defensive end in the league if he is not already there. Garrett sacked Prescott twice, one of which led to a fumble, which the Browns recovered.
Cleveland will head home to face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at 1 p.m. Both teams have won three games in a row following week one losses.
