Browns’ Run Game Fuels 27-24 Win Over Titans

The Browns improved to 5-2 with a 27-24 comeback win over Tennessee, continuing a run of late-game victories that reporters attribute in part to Todd Monken’s practice of recreating pressure situations and teaching players to move on quickly after each play. Cleveland’s offense showed more balance, as a more consistent run game helped Quinshon Judkins find space and run with power, while backup Dylan Sampson’s versatility as a runner and receiver created explosive gains without relying on deep passes. Monken also addressed a costly special-teams penalty, while film analyst Lance Reisland said an interception tipped at the receiver resulted from Denzel Boston’s misrun route, not Deshaun Watson’s decision. Looking ahead to the Nov. 1 matchup with Pittsburgh, Monken called it an important divisional game and stressed present-day preparation; he also praised the Steelers’ pressure schemes and disruptive edge rushers as Pittsburgh’s defense has helped fuel a three-game winning streak.
