Super Bowl loss to the Patriots last year.So it stands to reason that it’s hard to hold them down all night.After a sluggish start T.J. Hockenson Jersey , the Rams came back to beat the Browns 20-13, with their offense looking more like what we’re accustomed to.Quarterback Jared Goff threw a pair of touchdown passes to Cooper Kupp in the second half, and looked much sharper after the break than before (at least until a mystery interception late in the fourth).The Rams had gained just 144 yards in the first half, but finished with 345, doing just enough to keep the Browns at arm’s length.Goff was 24-of-38 for 269 yards, so it wasn’t a great night, but it was timely.It was far from perfect, but it was a good adjustment and enough to keep them undefeated (3-0).Here are five more things we learned during :1. For all the excitement Browns fans enjoyed this offseason, the locals sounded disgruntled with what they saw in a rare appearance.A fourth-and-9 draw play in the fourth quarter drew their particular ire, an unimaginative choice for the situation.It’s the kind of play that will demand explanation, and coach Freddie Kitchens better have a good one (Maybe he lost track of downs?). There was also some curious timeout usage on their final possession, the kind of problems a first-time coach needs to solve quickly.Coupled with a lackluster night from quarterback Baker Mayfield (just 195 yards) and some shabby offensive line play (two sacks late were defining), it was reminiscent of some Browns teams of recent vintage who weren’t regular guests in prime time.2. The Rams made the Super Bowl without him last season, so it’s tempting to say they didn’t miss Kupp that much.But the third-year wideout is clearly someone they trust, and that was easy to see Sunday.Kupp finished with 11 catches for 102 yards and the two scores.He makes his space by running precise routes http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-jahlani-tavai-jersey , and he doesn’t look like a guy who tore his ACL last November. His recovery adds a layer to an offense that was obviously good already.3. Browns defensive coordinator Steve Wilks didn’t get much of a chance in Arizona, but he has a chance to make a real impact in his current job.Playing without a starting secondary, Wilks had the Browns pressuring the Rams throughout the first half, keeping them from getting into any kind of offensive rhythm.Despite not having cornerbacks Denzel Ward or Greedy Williams or safeties Damarious Randall or Morgan Burnett, Wilks blitzed aggressively to keep the Rams’s passing game off balance, and trusted his players to hold up. The Rams eventually found some creases, but it was still a solid showing for what was left of the Browns defense.Wilks’ one year as head coach in Arizona was a disaster by any measure, but not having a General Manager (Steve Keim was serving his DUI suspension) with a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback in training camp didn’t give him much of a chance to succeed. But he was well-regarded in previous stops, and has a chance to rebuild his reputation with a team that’s actually more stable than the one he left (and that’s saying something).4. Even if it wasn’t to the ridiculous scale of the opener, the Browns still struggle with self-inflicted problems.An illegal shift penalty on Odell Beckham Jr. negated a Nick Chubb touchdown in the third quarter. They recovered to score later in the possession, but it was the latest example of making things harder than they need to be.The Browns committed 18 penalties in the opener against the Titans, and cut that to nine last week. That’s still a league-high total, even if the arrow was pointed in the right direction.Sunday, they committed eight for 60 yards, so progress is being made Will Harris Jersey , but it’s still an issue.5. The Rams are clearly trying to pace themselves, and Todd Gurley.Their star running back has been held back a bit early in games, allowing him a chance to have an impact later (in the season, they hope).Gurley had 11 carries for 34 yards through the first three quarters, as the Browns concentrated on pinching in the outside run game.He finished with 14 carries for 43 yards, as they didn’t need him as they did to close out the Panthers in the opener. SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Eli Manning showed he still has what it takes to lead the kind of game-winning drive that earned him two Super Bowl MVP awards.Manning capped a 75-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard with 53 seconds left and the New York Giants snapped a five-game losing streak by beating the San Francisco 49ers 27-23 on Monday night.“It doesn’t get old,” said Manning, whose 36 game-winning drives are the third most in the NFL since he entered the league in 2004. “It’s fun. It’s fun playing in those games and having a two-minute drive to win it. Those are the situations you want to be in. You want to have a chance.”Article continues below ...The Giants (2-7) have failed to capitalize on those late-game situations this season, losing five games by seven or fewer points as part of a disappointing stretch that has put the 37-year-old Manning’s status as starting quarterback in question.But Manning delivered against the 49ers (2- to give New York a much-needed win.“That’s what Eli is really good at, engineering those come-from-behind drives,” coach Pat Shurmur said. “That was terrific. He hung in there and made some really good throws and got us into the end zone. That’s the sign of a good quarterback.”Manning threw two TD passes to Odell Beckham Jr. and then engineered the late game-winning drive with help from a pair of third-down penalties against Malcolm Smith and Ahkello Witherspoon.Saquon Barkley then had a 23-yard catch to get the ball into the red zone and Manning connected with Shepard on third down to give the Giants the win.“I just saw man-to-man coverage,” Shepard said. “That’s something we’ve been practicing. I was able to capture the outside edge and Eli put the ball in a perfect place.”Matt Breida ran for 101 yards and scored two touchdowns for the 49ers (2-, who were unable to win consecutive games under third-string quarterback Nick Mullens. Breida’s 23-yard run helped set up a 30-yard field goal by Robbie Gould that gave the Niners a 23-20 lead with 2:46 to play.But the 49ers allowed the go-ahead score and couldn’t pull it out at the end as Mullens’ pass from the Giants 21 sailed out of the end zone on the final play.“Those are the plays you have to make to finish the game,” Mullens said. “That was a moment of truth http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-austin-bryant-jersey , and I didn’t get the job done. I have to play better in those moments of truth. We all have to play better.”Mullens wasn’t nearly as sharp as he was in his NFL debut against the Raiders on Nov. 1 when he joined Hall of Famers Jim Kelly and Fran Tarkenton as the only players with at least 250 yards passing, three touchdown passes and no interceptions in the first career game.Mullens threw for 250 yards and had an 11-yard TD pass to Breida that made it 20-10 early in the third quarter. But Mullens also threw two interceptions with the first setting up a 10-yard TD pass from Manning to Beckham .Those two connected again on a 20-yard score in the third quarter as New York rallied from 10 points down to tie the game in the second half.HARD HITNiners receiver Marquise Goodwin was hit in the helmet by Alec Ogletree on a catch late in the third quarter and briefly left the game. On his first play back in to start the fourth quarter, a pass from Mullens deflected off Goodwin’s hands for the second interception of the game by B.J. Goodson . Goodwin was slow to get up after that play and went back into the medical tent for observation. Goodwin returned to the game later in the fourth quarter.BAD REACTIONWitherspoon got beat on Beckham’s second TD catch and immediately threw his hands up in disgust because he didn’t get the safety help he expected from Antone Exum. Teammate Richard Sherman and coaches talked to Witherspoon on the sideline to tell him not to show up a teammate.“Man up. Don’t put that on tape,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “We’ll deal with that when we come in.”CENTURY MARKBarkley rans for 67 yards and added 33 receiving to join Eric Dickerson as the only players since the merger to gain at least 100 yards from scrimmage in eight of their first nine career games.MISSED OPPORTUNITYThe Giants entered the game converting just 40 percent of their red zone trips into TDs. They missed a golden opportunity for one late in the first half. On a third down from the 3, the 49ers left Beckham unguarded in the slot but Manning stuck with a run play to Barkley that gained only 1 yard. New York settled for a field goal that tied the game at 10.PLAYING FOR PARADISENiners GM John Lynch welcomed the high school football team from Paradise, a town destroyed by the wildfires in Butte County, about 175 miles north. Players and cheerleaders from the school were on the field for the national anthem. The Niners raised more than $100,000 to support relief and recovery efforts.The air quality for the game was at an unhealthy level because of the fires. The Air Quality Index was at 161 at kickoff, which is in the unhealthy zone, and smoke could be smelled throughout the stadium. The NFL had monitored the situation but the AQI never got near 200, the level where the game would have needed to be moved.UP NEXTGiants: Host Tampa Bay on Sunday.49ers: Visit Tampa Bay on Nov. 25.
