In a tightly contested matchup, the Cleveland Browns edged out the Jacksonville Jaguars 18-13, bolstered by Deshaun Watson's rushing touchdown and Dustin Hopkins' field goals. The defense shone, sacking Trevor Lawrence four times and stifling Jacksonville's offense for most of the game.
Though the Jaguars made a late push with a touchdown connection between Lawrence and rookie Brian Thomas Jr., it wasn't enough as the Browns maintained their lead. The game featured crucial injuries and questionable play, leaving both teams with a lot to consider moving forward.
