Jim Donovan has the calls of the game as the Cleveland Browns earn a crucial 31-27 win over Jaguars

Even when they dominated the stat sheet, the Browns couldn't make it easy Sunday on the lakefront. Still, when you earn your eighth win of the season (against a fellow playoff contender, no less), you're not going to do much complaining. Cleveland was able to overcome all obstacles this weekend in a 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kevin Stefanski's squad not only snapped a two-game losing streak, but improved its record to 8-5, currently the best among AFC wild card hopefuls. As many of us expected, it was Joe Flacco starting at quarterback for the Browns, and the veteran more than delivered with 311 yards and three touchdowns. Cleveland becomes just the seventh team in NFL history to have four different starting QBs win a game in a single year, as Flacco joins Deshaun Watson, P.J. Walker, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Despite getting out-gained by nearly 100 yards, Jacksonville (8-5) was able to hang around thanks to three takeaways. A TD pass from Trevor Lawrence to Evan Engram cut the deficit to four with 1:33 left, but the Browns recovered the onside kick as Flacco knelt on the ball to seal the victory. Early on, it looked as if Cleveland was going to roll, as the opening drive ended with a 34-yard scoring throw from Flacco to David Njoku. The tight end would hit paydirt again in the second quarter from 30 yards out, finishing the game with six catches on eight targets for 91 yards.
