The Browns blew a 10-0 first quarter lead and lost in Las Vegas to the Raiders 20–16.
With a chance to win the game at the Raiders 9 yard line on 4th down and 3 with :41 seconds left, Deshaun Watson was sacked and the Browns turned the ball over on downs.
Cleveland was forced to go for the touchdown on that drive because earlier in the game kicker Dustin Hopkins missed an extra point.
Cleveland also had an 82 yard touchdown pass from Watkins to Amari Cooper called back because of a holding penalty on center, Nick Harris.
Deshaun Watson finished the game 24-32 for 176 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception.
Browns tight end, Blake Whiteheart caught Watson’s touchdowns pass on the opening drive.
The other Browns touchdown came courtesy of the defense, when safety, RodneyMcLeod scooped up a fumble and returned it 25 yards for the score, but Hopkins followed that by missing the point after touchdown.
Cleveland is now (1-3) on the year and will play at Washington next Sunday at 1pm.
The Raiders improved to (2-2) this season.
