Former Ohio State Star Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba Catches Winning Touchdown Pass as Seahawks Defeat Browns 24-20

The Cleveland Browns got down early on Sunday afternoon to Seattle as the Seahawks scored two quick touchdowns to take a 14-0 lead with 5:30 left in the first quarter.

The Browns, though, came back to take a 20-17 lead and only allowed Seattle a field goal over the next 49 minutes of game time.

However, after a Browns interception late in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks scored the game winning touchdown with 38 seconds left in the game to defeat the Browns, 24-20.

After the game, Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski talked about the game.

“We dug ourselves an early hole, climbed out of it and then we didn’t close the ball game out and that’s disappointing,” said Stefanski.

The Seahawks scored their first 14 points on a 3-yard touchdown by Jake Bobo and a touchdown pass from Gino Smith to Tyler Lockett.

The Browns then got on the scoreboard with 3:22 left in the first quarter on an 18-yard touchdown pass from PJ Walker to David Njoku to make the score 14-7.

The Seahawks added a field goal with 59 seconds left in the first quarter. These three points would be the last points the Seahawks would score in the game until there were literally 38 seconds left in the contest.

The Browns scored a touchdown with 4:40 left in the second quarter on a Kareem Hunt one-yard touchdown with 4:40 left in the second quarter.

After halftime, the Browns added two Dustin Hopkins field goals of 25 and 27 yards to take a 20-17 lead.

The Seahawks scored the game winning touchdown with 38 seconds left in the game on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Gino Smith to former Ohio State Star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

For the game the Browns were led in rushing by Kareem Hunt who had 55 yards on 14 carries.

Also, quarterback PJ Walker was 15-31 for 248 yards and Amari Cooper led the Browns in receptions with 6 catches for 89 yards.

With the loss, the Browns move to 4-3 on the season and are in a three way tie for second place in the AFC North.

The Browns return home to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, November 5th.
