The Browns were on their way to 2-0. That is, until they weren't. The Browns held a 13-point lead with 1:55 left in Sunday's home opener against the New York Jets. Just over 90 seconds later, Joe Flacco hit Garrett Wilson for a 15-yard touchdown pass and Greg Zuerlein added the go-ahead point-after kick for a 31-30 Jets win. The Jets scored 14 points in the final 1:22 of the game. Ashtyn Davis intercepted a Jacoby Brissett pass with six seconds left to seal the game. Browns fans thought they could exhale when Nick Chubb's 12-yard run with 1:55 remaining gave them a 30-17 lead. Cade York, last week's hero, missed the point-after kick, which proved fatal. That run, though, only gave the Browns a momentary chance to breathe. The Jets answered with a 66-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Corey Davis with 1:22 remaining when Denzel Ward and Grant Delpit seemed to botch the coverage. The Jets then recovered the onside kick at their own 47 and marched down the field for the game-winner on a third-and-10 play.

If Browns fans had questions about Brissett's passing after the season opener, the quarterback made it a point to quiet some of those with the way he started his first home game of the regular season. Brissett completed his first eight passes, and 10 of 11 first-half passes The only incompletion of the half almost was a touchdown. Brissett threw a 6-yard fade to Donovan Peoples-Jones that the tightly-covered receiver grabbed as he was falling out of bounds on the right sideline. The officials initially ruled it a touchdowns. However, after a replay review, it was ruled Peoples-Jones wasn't able to control the ball to the ground while getting his feet inbounds. Brissett made sure it counted on the next play, hitting Amari Cooper for a 6-yard touchdown and a 14-7 lead with 8:17 left in the first half. Brissett, though, sustained what appeared to be a knee injury on a sack with just under five minutes remaining. He did come back on the next series. Brissett completed 22 of 29 passes for 229 yards and a touchdown and the game-sealing interception.

There was a lot of conversation about how involved in the offensive game plan Cooper was in the opener. It took until the second drive of his first home game for him to get his first target, but he got it rolling then. Brissett found Cooper four times on that drive for 48 yards, including the 6-yard touchdown pass. Cooper finished with nine catches for 101 yards in the game. The first three quarters were tough sledding for Chubb. The Browns star running back had just 37 rushing yards on 11 carries through 45 minutes. Chubb changed that on the Browns' first fourth-quarter possession. He ran it four times for 41 yards, plus a 15-yard screen pass, as he helped give the Browns a 24-17 lead with 9:21 remaining. Chubb capped the drive with a 7-yard run in which he ran to the right, made a slight cut to the left and then powered his way over the goal line for the score. Chubb finished with 87 yards on 17 carries and two touchdowns.
