It’s been a long time since the Cleveland Browns so colorfully, so thoroughly blew out an opponent. It was, in a word, fun.
Beating up an inferior opponent is not a frequent opportunity for the Browns, and they took full advantage of an undertalented Miami squad. Cleveland was up 28-0 before the visiting Dolphins were acclimated to the Lake Erie chill in late November.
The FirstEnergy Stadium crowd loved it. They were rocking in the Dawg Pound and loudly cheering as the Browns scored not one, not two, not three but more TDs in a row than any Cleveland team since the franchise reemerged in 1999.
It was fun to watch Nick Chubb top 100 yards rushing. Smiles abounded when Kareem Hunt scored his first TD in the white and orange for his hometown Browns. Joe Schobert picking off two passes for the second week in a row, yeah that’s fun too.
This season has not gone as scripted, but improving to 5-6 and very much staying alive in the playoff race by lapping the hapless Dolphins is a fun way for the Browns to send the faithful fans into the Thanksgiving holiday.
