Sunday Night Football, Week 8: 49ers vs. Cowboys open thread

Browns fans can also use this as an open thread.

Tonight on Sunday Night Football, the San Francisco 49ers take on the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams are banged up and missing star players. The 49ers hope to get help back after their bye, but first they have to turn their attention to the Cowboys and an attempt to get back to .500. Their division is still well up for grabs, so the opportunity is there for them to seize the moment again.

After two tight wins over the Giants and the Steelers on the road, Dallas came back home —...

A day of firsts for the Browns as they beat the Ravens

A day of firsts for the Browns as they beat the Ravens

Cleveland picks up its first home win of the season, one of many firsts on the day.

It was a day of firsts on Sunday for the Cleveland Browns against the Baltimore Ravens at Huntington Bank Field.

Most importantly, the Browns took down the Ravens, 29-24, for their first home win and first AFC North Division win of the season.

While a rebound from 1-6 to a return to the playoffs is still a long shot, the game was the first step in the right direction after five weeks of the team consistently hurting itself.

Other firsts include:

Browns vs Ravens: Game grades for the win in Week 8

A much-needed victory for the Browns that included a few standout performances.

The Cleveland Browns won their first game in six weeks against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. It was their best game of the season, and the Browns looked like the team we all thought we were getting at the start of the year.

Suddenly, the issues that had plagued them all year seemingly disappeared as they moved the ball up and down the field. Jameis Winston who took over for the injured Deshaun Watson led to an offensive outburst from Cleveland.

Winston threw for over 300 yards...

Browns Week 8 victory could mean more if Cedric Tillman continues to grow

The Cleveland Browns are 2-6 but a huge upset over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 was an important game for the team with nine games left in the season. A day after the Voice of the Browns Jim Donovan passed away, the Browns put together their best game of the season in front of their home crowd.

Browns’ offense comes alive under Jameis Winston, as they defeat Ravens 29-24

The offense explodes under Winston, even if he dodges a bunch of interceptions.

The Browns had the lead for much of the game, but it was always close. The offense was much better under Jameis Winston, and the defense had their moments — but then Baltimore went fast-paced and got a go-ahead touchdown with 2:36 to go. With a shot at a game-winning drive, Winston delivered — sort of. After a game-ending interception was dropped, he came back with a go-ahead touchdown pass to give the Browns a 29-24 lead. Then, the defense held with a minute to go and...

Browns top corner has a long history of concussion issues

The Cleveland Browns have played well in Week 8 against the Baltimore Ravens and hold a 13-10 lead more than halfway through the third quarter. The Browns defense has caused issues for the Ravens offense most of the day but may have to do so without CB Denzel Ward.

Ward, who has been playing well this season, gave up his first touchdown earlier in the game, was being checked by a neurological specialist on the sideline after Baltimore’s first possession of the second half. It wasn’t immediately obvious what happened...

Jameis Winston gave Browns tight end a chance to make a play

The Cleveland Browns gave away the ball late in the second quarter with many wondering if the meltdown was starting against the Baltimore Ravens. Instead, the Browns took the ball after half and drove down the field with an eight-play, 70-yard drive.

The team had three scoring drives but struggled to finish in the redzone. To start the third quarter, they didn’t need to even get inside the 20.

QB Jameis Winston, in his first start for Cleveland, gave TE David Njoku a chance to make a play...
