Odell Beckham Jr. returned to the field for the Browns for the first time in just shy of a year after recovering from a torn ACL and he led the team with 77 receiving yards on the day. And somehow, that wasn’t remotely the biggest story for the sharp-dressed Browns as they won handily at home over the Bears, 26-6.

Cleveland’s defense and defensive end Myles Garrett were the story of the victory for this franchise, which now sits at 2-1 on the year. Garrett alone had 4.5 sacks and six QB hits on the day but the team as a whole registered 9.5 sacks and completely stonewalled anything Chicago wanted to do, holding them to under 70 total yards of offense on the day.

Kareem Hunt had is biggest game of the year with 81 rushing yards, 74 receiving yards and a touchdown for the affair. Baker Mayfield also continued to play well with a 246-yard, one-touchdown performance with no turnovers, even with the offensive line banged up and allowing quite a bit of pressure.

This roster continues to look extremely dangerous, especially if they can get healthy and the defense can continue to find its stride as they surely did on Sunday.
