To me the big concern to take out of this game, besides the injuries, is that a team that prides itself on physical play got destroyed physically.  The o- line got smoked. But Cleveland does have a very good defensive line. Bigger concern is they gave up 160 yards rushing to a team playing a third string QB that could not hurt them downfield and whose premier RB is hurt.

If the Browns had just blown out, say the Bills to go 5-0 last Sunday night and traveled to London to play I don't know, the Cowboys with Cooper Rush, you would likely have seen a similar outcome.

When an entire team isn't at its best, it points to a team-wide hangover and malaise. That's why the fact they still almost won is encouraging to Richard Sherman, as long as Moody rights himself and doesn't go in to a slump that costs him his job.
