The Cleveland Browns were favorites on the road against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, but they sure didn’t play like it in a 31-28 loss.

The Colts were always the better of the two teams aside from a late rally that saw Cleveland put two touchdowns on the board in the final seven minutes of the game.

Jacoby Brissett was a pleasant surprise in his fourth career start. He went 17 of 24 for 259 yards with a touchdown, a 61-yarder to T.Y. Hilton that opened the game up in the second quarter.

Frank Gore only averaged 2.3 yards per carry against the Browns’ stout front seven, but he did find the end zone to salvage his fantasy day.

Rookie DeShone Kizer once again had his ups and downs. He threw three interceptions, but he also rallied the team with those two fourth quarter touchdowns to end his day on a respectable note. Both he and Duke Johnson went over their Dober Projected Fantasy Points values by comfortable margins.
