Browns at Chiefs. 1:00 p.m. game. Watching game on main living room TV with audio provided by Browns announcers on radio. The radio, however, is about 20 seconds ahead of TV.

First Quarter

KC got opening kickoff. Drive led to field goal.

After short kickoff return, Browns started their first possession inside their own 20. First play, a run, lost 2. Second play was a little out pass to M. Gray who gained a few yards. On 3rd and long, deep pass to Gordon went incomplete. For some reason Gordon pulled up and did not run the route at full speed, and he had a step lead on the defender. If Gordon ran, he may have caught the pass. It was good pass. Gordon was not hurt. Radio announcer suspected Gordon lost the ball in the sun.??? He's not a top-flight receiver. He's a good Browns receiver, but he would not start for many teams.

After the Browns went 3-and-out, they punted. 50 yard punt, 2 yard return. Chiefs started at own 30-something.

Chiefs driving. The Browns defense continues to look bad.

The Browns defense was ranked number 7 in the NFL at start of last Sunday's game. This week, the Browns defense is ranked number 11. Misleading because the Browns are ranked number 29 in the league in 3rd down defense. Opponents convert on 3rd down 45 percent of the time.

Chiefs on their second drive are converting on 3rd down again. Chiefs have 2nd and 8 at Browns 14. KC QB Smith misfires on a wide open WR at the goal line. Should have been a Chiefs TD.

Kruger sacks Smith on 3rd down. Chiefs settle for another field goal. So the Browns defense playing the bend but don't break D. That's okay. Field goals should not defeat a NFL team, unless it's the Browns offense.

In this game, need to see better play by the Browns defense and Gordon. Browns defense has allowed 55 points over the previous 6 quarters. Browns defense got lucky on the Chiefs second drive. Smith overthrew the open receiver for a TD.

4:46 left in the first.

Benjamin returns bounding ball from the end zone. Good return. Browns start on own 35.

Best drops a pass. 3rd week in a row. Would have been a first down.

2nd down play, pass caught for 8. 3rd down pass complete but for no gain. Odd. Another 3 and out after having decent field position.

After the punt, Chiefs start on own 19.

Chiefs driving a little. Ends the first qtr with KC on their own 40-something.

Second Quarter

Chiefs convert on 3rd down to start 2nd qtr. Chiefs are 5 of 7 on 3rd down. The Browns defense looking to be the worst in the NFL on 3rd down defense.

Browns defense has held KC to two field goals, but the Browns defense surrenders too many yards and too much time of possession.

KC 2nd and 5 at Cle 35.Inc pass. 3rd and 5.

Smith flushed to his left, runs to Browns 12. 23 yard gain. KC now 6 of 8 on 3rd down.

KC 3rd and 10 at 12. Chiefs execute a screen pass play like Browns defense is not on the field. RB oe
