Not solely have been the Eagles unable to place up extra factors earlier than halftime in opposition to the Browns, they really gave up factors when Jake Elliott’s 57-yard discipline objective try was blocked by Myles Garrett. The ball was tipped, scooped up by former Eagles security Rodney McLeod, and run again 50 yards for the Browns first landing of the sport.
As an alternative of a one-score lead, the Eagles as a substitute went into half tied with the Browns at 10 factors a bit. Not splendid. Philly’s offense really had a pleasant lengthy drive down the sector to be in place to increase their lead, too, however hopefully they will re-establish some momentum within the second half of this sport.
That is the second landing for McLeod over the previous three video games, recording a scoop and rating off a fumble in Week 4. McLeod continues to be one in every of Cleveland’s finest defensive leaders on and off the sector, and was definitely transferring fairly quick for a 13-year veteran.
