Robiskie was bad but our execution deserves just as much blame. Everyone on offense played maybe their worst game of the season outside of maybe Taylor Lewan and Josh Kline. If Murray and Henry hit their holes and Mariota doesn't miss Walker we win this game by 14+.

True. Mariota wasn't good today. 

A win is a win. Three weeks from now we won't be mad about winning this in overtime. It's a win.

Thomas out or not, Orakpo played a huge role in securing the win. Not counting that he also avoided what looked like might've been an ugly neck injury and also was being held at least once or twice in the last few CLE possessions. This was as ugly as a win could get, considering this is, after all, Cleveland. Bye week couldn't come at a better time. I'm usually the first guy to defend Mularkey/Robiskie, but this was just plain ugly. Way too stuck on the running game, and we suffered badly because of it. Hopefully some things will change, because otherwise I don't see how we can separate from the rest of the division.

Yeah, maybe Marcus' worst game of the season, even if the numbers don't show it. Staring down Murray on 3rd down inside the 10, missing Walker, refusing to throw to a wide open Matthews on two separate third downs on our first OT drive, his placement on passes was often off like the big play to Taylor, who had to awkwardly adjust to it.

This showing up flat/awful vs awful teams has gotta stop. We're not Pittsburgh who can afford to play down to our competition because we know we can beat the best teams and get 11 wins a year.

Only win that game because Joe Thomas got hurt. Feel bad for Browns fans.

Kessler is clearly the best QB on that roster.

Your pass rush killed us when he went out. That and our own stupid mental errors is why we lost - which has been the story for the Browns this season.

There was no answer for Orakpo once JT went out.

Just an incredibly ugly football game.

Might be time for you guys to let Hue go. Saw that same crap when Whisenhunt was our head coach. Bad play calling is one thing, but when your team makes mental error after mental error that's an even bigger indictment on coaching.

He'll never blame Mariota for anything.

Mariota is the only good QB he's ever had and I guess he's refusing to say anything to irritate him.

Which is funny because I highly doubt  Mariota would be irritated if called out. It's not his personality.

Also, big shoutout to Kevin Byard. Three picks this game and 4 for the season. He may sneak his way to the pro bowl if he keeps it up.

In a battle of field goals, Tennessee Titans kicker Ryan Succop had the final say in his team’s 12-9 overtime win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Succop’s four field goals lifted the Titans to a 12-9 win over the Browns in Cleveland’s FirstEnergy Stadium, the last of which coming from 47 yards out with 2:00 left in overtime.

After two first-half interceptions, Browns rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer was again benched in favor of Cody Kessler. However, neither of the Cleveland signal-callers could get anything done offensively, as the two combined for just 235 passing yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions.

Though he wasn’t in line to be benched, Tennessee’s Marcus Mariota also put together an underwhelming statistical performance in Cleveland. He completed 21-of-34 passes for 203 yards and zero touchdowns. Mariota did just enough in the overtime period to get his team in field goal range for the victory however.

Titans safety Kevin Byard was the man behind the Browns’ interceptions, as he recorded all three of the game’s interceptions and added four combined tackles (two solo) to his stat line. With that, we give you our PFF exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.

Top 5 Grades:

LB Avery Williamson, 91.3 overall grade

S Kevin Byard, 89.0 overall grade

S Da’Norris Searcy, 82.9 overall grade

QB Marcus Mariota, 82.6 overall grade

T Jack Conklin, 82.4 overall grade

Performances of Note:

QB Marcus Mariota, 82.6 overall grade

Despite throwing for just over 200 yards and failing to throw a touchdown pass, this was another encouraging effort from Mariota. He never put the ball in danger and his numbers would have looked a lot better if not for four drops from his pass catchers. Given how much time he had (only pressured on four dropbacks despite being blitzed on 16 plays) that’s not earth shattering but it shows that his floor remains that of a signal caller who won’t lose the game for you.

Taylor Lewan, 77.8 overall grade

We heard Myles Garrett’s name called for penalties and one sack on a busted shovel pass. The rest of the game? Not so much. That was largely because Lewan had the better of him most of the day, outside of one pressure on the penultimate play of the first half. There’s a reason he’s one of the best tackles in the league.

Kevin Byard, 89.0 overall grade

Was there a hint of good fortune to Byard picking off a couple of overthrows? Perhaps. But he was there to make the plays and peeled off nicely to grab his first pick and set the wheels in motion for a quarterback benching. Byard isn’t a player who gets a lot of press and his tackling (seven misses on the year) could improve, but he’s one of the emerging players on this suffocating defense.

DI Jurrell Casey, 76.6, overall grade

A good game by the standards of most, but the expensively-assembled Browns offensive line found a way to bring out the rare so-so game from the usually-excellent Casey. He walked away with a hit and two hurries to go with three stops in the run game, but it was an uncharacteristically quiet game for the former Trojan.
