What went right: The Browns opened the game with a 15-play, 80-yard touchdown drive and took a 7-0 lead with 8:07 left in the first quarter. Quarterback Johnny Manziel finished the march, which took six minutes, 53 seconds off the clock, with a 7-yard touchdown pass to tight end Gary Barnidge. Unfortunately for the Browns, they failed to finish their other two trips into the red zone with touchdowns.
What went wrong: The defense couldn’t get off the field enough, allowing the Seahawks to convert 9-of-12 third downs. They had 28 first downs (12 rushing, 14 passing and two by penalty) compared with 15 for the Browns. Quarterback Russell Wilson was dominant, and the Seahawks rushed for 182 yards on 36 carries (5.1 average). They outgained the Browns 423 yards to 230 yards.
The bottom line: The outcome might have been even uglier if Seahawks five-time Pro Bowl running back Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) were healthy. He has missed the past five games.
