Cleveland Browns A.M. Links: Browns make the grade; close was enough; meaningless games; AFC North battles

Grades for the Cleveland Browns.

Ohio.com reporter Nate Ulrich gives out his grades when it comes to the Cleveland Browns. And the Browns did well. 

Ulrich gives the offense a B (minus) and an A to the running backs. That's easy because Chris Ogbonnaya had 21 carries for 115 yards. And it was the first 100-yard rushing performance by a Browns player since Peyton Hillis ran for 108 yards in December of 2010.

Wide receivers: B. Rookie Greg Little led the team with five catches for 59 yards. Cribbs had three receptions for 20 yards, including the team’s lone touchdown catch. Jordan Norwood made the play of the game when he caught an 8-yard pass over the middle, then broke free and used a juke move on safety Chris Prosinski to turn it into a 51-yard gain. Norwood’s 43 yards after the catch helped set up Obonnaya’s 1-yard touchdown run. Mohamed Massaquoi came back after missing two of the previous three games with symptoms related to a concussion and added two catches for 19 yards.

The defense earned a grade of B (plus). The secondary played well. Cornerback Joe Haden dropped two interceptions in the third quarter, and cornerback Sheldon Brown dropped another in the fourth quarter.

Coach Pat Shurmur earned a B.
