cleveland browns vs new york jets final score it s time for a switch

The Browns fell to the Jets 27-20 on Nov. 9 at MetLife Stadium, dropping their second consecutive game. Cleveland was outscored 10-3 in the second half after going into halftime tied at 17. The Browns had a season-high in rushing with 158 yards, with RB Quinshon Judkins notching 75 yards on 22 carries and QB Dillon Gabriel scrambling for 53 yards on five runs. WR Malachi Corley also contributed 32 rushing yards on two carries. Gabriel had 167 yards through the air with two passing touchdowns, including WR Jerry Jeudy's first of the year.

Jeudy notched a season-high in receptions and receiving yards with six catches and 78 yards. DE Myles Garrett increased his sack season total to 11 with a sack of QB Justin Fields, while S Ronnie Hickman caught his second interception of the season. The Jets score two special teams touchdowns 36 seconds apart Heading into the game, I asked why I had a degree of blind confidence in the Cleveland Browns. I knew the Browns’ defense would be able to stop Justin Fields with ease, and I thought surely, they’d get enough offensive scores to win. What I didn’t go into the game thinking was, “Oh, what if the Browns allow two special teams touchdowns in the first quarter?” Even with that, it was tied at the half, and then...

It’s time for a change at quarterback for the Browns too. Let’s get to the full game recap. The Browns got the ball first to show off their ‘improved’ offense, but it was anything but that. RB Quinshon Judkins ran on first down for 15 yards, but a holding penalty brought it back. A short run was followed by two off target short passes by QB Dillon Gabriel, as the Browns went three-and-out and had to punt. The Jets got the ball near their own 40 yard line to begin their first drive.

The Jets then went three-and-out with just as bad of a drive, as LB Carson Schwesinger was left unblocked and drilled QB Justin Fields basically as soon as he took a snap. In a game where field position will play a factor, the Jets pinned the Browns down to the 5 yard line on their punt. A short run by Judkins was followed by a short completion to WR Jerry Jeudy, setting up 3rd-and-5. On third down, Gabriel launched a pass up the right sideline for WR Cedric Tillman. Tillman just missed a diving one-handed catch, but the defense was flagged for pass interference to get the ball to the 40 yard line. A jet sweep to WR Malachi Corley then went for a burst of 16 yards, the second week in a row it has worked.

A bootleg pass to Jeudy then went for 13 yards on a crossing route. A few plays later, facing 3rd-and-4, Gabriel scrambled 8 yards for a first down, and 5 more yards were tacked on by a defensive hold. A few plays later, a playaction fake set up TE David Njoku catching a short pass and then rumbling into the end zone for a 9 yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead. Cleveland’s defense didn’t get a chance to capitalize. On the ensuing kickoff, Kene Nwangwu returned it 99 yards for a touchdown to even things up at 7-7. The Browns then went three-and-out with three straight incompletions by Gabriel, as P Corey Bojorquez got off a punt with low trajectory, and Isaiah Williams returned it 74 yards for a touchdown.

You can’t make this stuff up. Just like that, the Jets were winning 14-7 on two special teams touchdowns in the first quarter. It was a special day in the Meadowlands on Sunday. Pregame, the Jets honored the late Nick Mangold, the longtime center who died two weeks ago at age 41 due to complications from kidney disease. In the Jets' first home game since Mangold’s death, it was only fitting that their first two touchdowns came in a special way: two special-teams touchdowns in the first quarter, the first time they’ve... The Jets (2-7) held on in a rain-filled, back-and-forth affair for a 27-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns (2-7).

It’s two consecutive victories now for head coach Aaron Glenn and the Jets, who have emerged victorious in back-to-back games for the first time since Weeks 2-3 of last season. Fueled by two game-changing special teams plays, a season-high 6-sack performance and some fourth quarter magic from RB Breece Hall, the Jets (2-7) topped the Browns (2-7) on a rainy Sunday at MetLife Stadium... "Tough, hard-fought game," HC Aaron Glenn said. "… One thing that we're trying to do, we're trying to build something. And I've said this from the beginning, there has to be a foundation that has to be set. These guys understand that.

We're trying to build that foundation." The Browns took an early lead, as QB Dillon Gabriel connected with TE David Njoku for a 9-yard score. The Jets wasted no time responding, though, as RB Kene Nwangwu returned the ensuing kickoff 99 yards for a TD. The score marked the fifth kick returned for a touchdown of Nwangwu's career and his second as a Jet. The defense then forced a quick three-and-out and Cleveland punted the ball. Fresh off an AFC Special Teams Player of the Week performance in Week 8, WR Isaiah Williams picked up right where he left off, returning the punt 74 yards for a TD.

"Our special teams really gave us a spark today," Glenn said. "That's what we need. That's what I talk about -- playing complementary football. When all three phases can go out there and play. But today was really supportive football again, and our special teams did a hell of a job." CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Browns suffered a 27-20 loss to the New York Jets, moving them to 2-7 on the season.

Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 53.1% of his passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns. 4Q, 0:00 - End of game: Jets 27, Browns 20 Schwesinger and Devin Bush stopped Hall on a run and forced a fourth-and-5. Instead of setting up for a punt, they looked to get a Cleveland defender offsides, and succeeded. While the Cleveland Browns took it down to the wire, a costly defensive holding call on linebacker Devin Bush and a neutral zone infraction on defensive end Cameron Thomas sealed their fate. The Browns drop to 27-20 on the game to the one-win (now two-win) New York Jets; a team that just traded two of their very best players at the NFL trade deadline.

The Browns are now 2-7 on the season, and losing a game like this might be the nail in the coffin for head coach Kevin Stefanski. It could be an interesting Monday in Berea coming off of an abysmal loss like this in the Meadowlands. However, a positive way to look at this is that the Browns have won the battle for draft positioning in the race for one of Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza or Alabama's Ty Simpson. It also helps that both the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins also lost their respective games to move the Browns up the 2026 NFL Draft board. Oh well, here are the highlights from today's game: Kicker Andre Szmyt pulls the Browns within a touchdown of this game.

The Browns now need a defensive stop and another touchdown to force overtime against the Jets on the road. In the New York Jets’ ninth game of the 2025 season, on a cool, rainy autumn afternoon in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Jets beat the Cleveland Browns, 27 – 20. The first half saw the Jets special teams take center stage. Isaiah Williams returned a punt for a touchdown and Nene Nwangwu returned a kickoff for a touchdown, providing the Jets 14 of their 17 first half points. Justin Fields and the Jets offense struggled badly against a tough Browns defense, and the Jets defense allowed 17 points to a terrible Browns offense on the way to a 17 – 17 tie... Neither team could get anything going on offense in an ugly third quarter.

The score remained tied at 17 – 17. The fourth quarter opened with the Jets moving the ball into Browns territory behind the running of Breece Hall. On the second play of the fourth quarter Justin Fields found Hall on a 42 yard catch and run for a touchdown and a 24 – 17 Jets lead. On the Jets’ next possession Breece Hall ripped off a big run to get the Jets in field goal range, and Nick Folk eventually kicked a mid-range field goal to give the Jets a... Now the Jets defense just needed to avoid a collapse to get the Jets their second consecutive victory.
