Oh boy. This game was a doozy, as somehow the Cowboys needed an extra period to fend off the mistake-laden Browns. Nearly a dozen first down penalties by the Cleveland defense had the Cowboys on top late, but a crazy back-and-forth ending eventually resulted in the three-point win.
I’m sure we’ll have plenty of analysis on this nutty game over the next few hours and days. In fact, Rick already has his recap up from the game: Browns blow 13-0 halftime lead; lose 23-20 in overtime.
