The Cleveland Browns take on the Chicago Bears in Week 3 looking to take their record to 2 – 1 early in 2021. The Browns expectations have taken a bit of a hit so far this season with a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and their win being more difficult than expected.
Against Chicago, Cleveland gets a chance against rookie quarterback Justin Fields. The mobile, strong-armed Fields could make things difficult for the Browns struggling defense but Baker Mayfield leads a great offense that should be able to make up for the defense, if needed.
The offense, which has had some struggles throughout the game put together a great late half drive with Kareem Hunt carrying much of the load in the passing game. Late in the half, Mayfield hit tight end Austin Hooper with a perfectly placed ball for six points:

The extra point is good and with 19 seconds left in the half, Cleveland takes a 10 – 3 lead over Chicago. The drive took 2:35 seconds with 12 plays and 89 yards going into halftime.
