CLEVELAND _ Jarvis Landry got his revenge.
But in a perverse way, he helped the team he so desperately wanted to beat Sunday.
Landry's two touchdown catches keyed the Browns' 41-24 victory over the team that drafted and developed him.
Landry was spectacular against the Dolphins, with the highlight his high-point touchdown catch in traffic.
In a micro sense, it was another bad day at the office for the Dolphins.
They fell behind 28-0, and while Ryan Fitzpatrick made it a little interesting with some second-half magic on his 37th birthday, never truly threatened the Browns.
But the loss was a win in the chase for the No. 1 pick. The Dolphins fell to 2-9 on the season, and on track for a top 5 _ at least _ pick. The Dolphins play two of the teams currently projected to draft ahead of them _ the Giants and Bengals _ in the next four weeks. If they lose out, they will have no worse than the third pick _ and probably no worse than the second _ in next April's draft.
So they enter December with a chance to really improve their position.
Some stats from Sunday's game: Landry had 10 catches for 148 yards and the two scores. Teammate and BFF Odell Beckham Jr. added 6 for 84 and a touchdown. Baker Mayfield's improved play continues. He was 24 of 34 for 327 and those three scores.
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for two touchdowns _ including the 200th over his career and ran for another in the loss. He also threw two interceptions.
The 41 points are the third-most allowed by the Dolphins this season and most since Week 2. They've given up 78 in the last two weeks.
