Phil Dawson Was The Hero In Baltimore, Not The Cleveland Offense That Only Scored 6 For The Browns

Written By Larry M. Glicken "LG"

Phil Dawson the man who has been the Browns most valuable player for the Cleveland Browns hit three field goals from 50 yards or better. He is the guy responsible for keeping the Cleveland Browns within reach of the teams first win this season against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Browns offense failed to get the team into decent field goal range in a game that the Ravens defense was obviously a little worn out. The Ravens played 4 football games in 18 days, yet the Browns offense with their new gunslinger rookie quarterback couldn't get the Browns into the end zone except one time. The Cleveland Browns are very fortunate to have one of the most consistent field goal kickers in the NFL.

The Browns aren't going to win many games in the NFL if their offense can't get touchdowns, a Phil Dawson field goal can only get you so far in today's NFL. Browns fans are very impressed with the fact that Weeden threw for over 300 yards in the game. What they really need to be impressed with is how Phil Dawson was able to hit three field goals in the pouring rain from 50 yards or more. It was Dawson's efforts that made this game as close as it was. 10 of the Cleveland Browns 16 points came off the foot of the man that is the Cleveland Browns most valuable player.
