Browns Defeat Dolphins 31-6, Ending Losing Streak

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns reclaimed their winning spirit with a commanding 31-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. This marked a crucial win for the Browns, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Browns running back Quinshon Judkins stood out, scoring three touchdowns in the matchup. “I remember now. Feels good,” Judkins said in the locker room post-game. His performance helped the team reach over 17 points for the first time in 12 games.

The game was challenging due to heavy rain and wind, yet the Browns’ quarterback Dillon Gabriel showed promise in his first NFL start, completing 13 of 18 passes for 116 yards.

The Browns’ defense was dominant, intercepting Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa three times and holding Miami to just two field goals from Riley Patterson. Coach Mike McDaniel remarked on his team’s struggles, stating, “We did everything we could to lose the game.” Miami finished the day with penalties amounting to 103 yards.

The Dolphins, now 1-6 for the season, faced significant challenges. Tagovailoa, who threw three interceptions for the second consecutive week, had a career-low passer rating of 24.1. Despite the team outgaining the Browns in total yards, they failed to capitalize offensively.

Injuries marred the Dolphins’ roster as TE Darren Waller left the game with a pectoral injury. Meanwhile, the Browns will look to continue their momentum in their upcoming game against the New England Patriots.
