Browns vs. Jets final score, results: Dorian Thompson-Robinson shines as Browns comeback to beat the Jets in Hall of Fame Game

By August 4, 2023No Comments

Football is back.

No matter what happened on the field from the NFL’s Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, that is and will continue to be the main takeaway. The Jets and Browns dueled it out on the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio to kickoff the preseason, showcasing some massive young players and even an electrical-related delay.

Once the electric bill was paid, it was back to football as the Browns put the finishing touches on a 21-16 victory.

Regardless, the evidence mounted all evening long that this was the preseason opener β€” a game highlighted by sloppy play, mind-boggling penalties and poor play amid flashes of brilliance. While Zach Wilson showcased some improvement in the first quarter for New York and helped lead a half that was dominated by Gang Green, it was the Browns who had the last laugh.

Their rookie quarterback out of UCLA, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, shined in the second half and gave Cleveland fans something to look forward to for the next month. “DTR” made plays with his legs, arm and even threw a great block that led to a Browns touchdown.

Fans of the Dawg Pound can probably sleep a little better knowing their insurance option behind starter Deshaun Watson showed up and showed out. The rookie went 8-11 through the air for 82 yards and a touchdown, adding six carries for 37 yards on the ground.

As for the Jets, their night was headlined by the continued honeymoon with Aaron Rodgers. The new signal-caller was a fixture on the NBC broadcast, as either the topic of discussion or a participant in them during the third quarter. If nothing else, they should be encouraged by the play of some younger players.

Neither side suffered major injuries, declaring this preseason contest a success. Now it’s on to Week 1 of the preseason, where both teams will hope their good fortune continues.

Browns vs. Jets live updates, highlights from NFL Hall of Fame Game

(All times Eastern)

Final score: Browns 21, Jets 16

11:17 p.m. β€” INTERCEPTED! Streveler’s heroics fall short as his pass is picked off on fourth-and-15 to end tonight’s festivities. New York went scoreless in the second half while DTR shined.

11:15 p.m. β€” Streveler lobbed one to the end zone, but it falls incomplete. The Jets wanted a flag, and probably should’ve had one. Either way, it’s last gasp for New York.

11:14 p.m. β€” Under a minute remains with the Jets holding the ball at the Browns 30-yard line.

11:11 p.m. β€” 2-minute warning time in Canton. Can Streveler make some magic on the final drive?

11:07 p.m. β€” The ensuing Browns drive stalls, giving the Jets one last chance with just over two minutes to go.

10:58 p.m. β€” Unsurprisingly, the Jets will be punting again. Thomas Morstead continues to give his leg a good workout.

10:57 p.m. β€” We’re about halfway through the fourth quarter and the Streveler experiment has not been fun to this point. His regular season performance on “Thursday Night Football” last season was a lot more fun.

Browns 21, Jets 16

10:48 p.m. β€” TOUCHDOWN! DTR finds Austin Watkins Jr. for six on a 22-yard touchdown pass. The Browns rookie is impressing here in preseason action as Cleveland takes the lead.

10:45 p.m. β€” DTR and the offense are on the move again. They are over midfield with around 10 minutes left in this contest.

10:40 p.m. β€” And exhale. The electric bill has been paid and football has resumed on the field. Nothing would stop this preseason battle between Chris Streveler and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.

10:37 p.m. β€” We continue to wait for the lights to come on. In the meantime, players are trying to stay loose on the field and the Browns have jokes.

10:34 p.m. β€” It’s an unfortunate moment for the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, considering they only host one game every year. Tough look.

10:30 p.m. β€” We are waiting for the lights to come back on, much like the parent that just told their defiant child that it’s time for bed.

10:26 p.m. β€” It’s lights out in Canton and Aaron Rodgers is, once again, in the dark.

End of third quarter: Jets 16, Browns 14

10:21 p.m. β€” Jets rookie Will McDonald IV has put together a nice showing in his debut, showing off why the team made him a first-round pick.

10:18 p.m. β€” DTR went back to work, but didn’t find as much success on drive No. 2. The Browns are forced to punt again.

10:17 p.m. β€” In between the action, we’ve seen some of the Hall of Fame class doing interviews with Melissa Stark. DeMarcus Ware, who sang the anthem, talked about his former Broncos teammate Demaryius Thomas and their bond.

10:14 p.m. β€” Boyle had the Jets moving and grooving, until he didn’t. A promising drive ends without points after the Jets fail to convert on fourth down.

10:09 p.m. β€” After a 13-play, 93-yard drive from DTR and the Browns, the Jets offense will attempt to answer.

Jets 16, Browns 14

10:05 p.m. β€” TOUCHDOWN! DTR throws a big block and opens up the field for Demetric Felton Jr. to waltz into the end zone for six. York adds the extra point and Cleveland closes the gap.

10:03 p.m. β€” Thompson-Robinson has put together a nice drive for Cleveland so far to start the second half. It’s a noticeable difference from what the Browns displayed in the first half.

9:58 p.m. β€” Rodgers has high praise for the Jets, talking about how happy he is to be part of the team.

9:54 p.m. β€” Dorian Thompson-Robinson has taken over at QB for Cleveland, while Rodgers puts on the NBC headset.

9:50 p.m. β€” The Jets opening drive ends the same way many did for both teams in the first half β€” with a punt.

9:48 p.m. β€” Tim Boyle time continues for the Jets to start the third quarter.

9:47 p.m. β€” As if fans needed another reason to tune in, Aaron Rodgers will be joining the NBC booth during the third quarter. Don’t touch that dial!

9:46 p.m. β€” Changes should be aplenty for the final 30 minutes as both teams work in players fighting for roster spots.

9:45 p.m. β€” The second half is about to kick off. Jets ball to start.

Halftime: Jets 16, Browns 7

9:33 p.m. β€” Zuerlein knocks through another, this time from 53 yards out to give his team a nine point lead heading into halftime. The Jets might want to shut him down until Week 1 at this point.

9:32 p.m. β€” New York quickly finds field goal range after a big kickoff return, setting up Zuerlein for yet another long field goal attempt.

Jets 13, Browns 7

9:27 p.m. β€” TOUCHDOWN! Kelly finishes it off as Mond tosses it to him in the flat, finally getting the Browns on the board.

9:26 p.m. β€” Kelly Jr. sets Cleveland up with a first-and-goal from inside the five-yard line with just under a minute to go in the half.

9:21 p.m. β€” The rookie out of Tennessee, Cedric Tillman, picks up the first down for the Browns as Mond tries to have a positive finish to his first half. Following a declined penalty on the Jets defense, we have reached the two minute warning.

9:18 p.m. β€” While Cleveland continues to run in place, let’s take a moment to recognize the sheer size of rookie tackle, Dawand Jones. Standing at 6-foot-8 and weighing in at 375 pounds, it’s unlikely many players in the league will like dealing with him.

9:17 p.m. β€” Perhaps the Browns just like the treadmill. As much as they move forward, penalties continue to ensure that they hardly pick up any ground, positive or negative.

9:15 p.m. β€” The Browns continue to march down the field, as we get under five minutes remaining in the first half.

9:11 p.m. β€” Cleveland picks up the first down and is operating around midfield for the first time in a long time.

9:08 p.m. β€” The Browns had a chance for a big play to start their drive with a big catch-and-run from John Kelly Jr. But flags fly and it wipes out one of the lone positives from the Cleveland offense to this point.

Jets 13, Browns 0

9:05 p.m. β€” TOUCHDOWN! The rookie out of Pitt, Izzy Abanikanda turns on the jets and prances into the end zone to capitalize after the turnover. The Jets jump out to a 13-0 lead.

9:03 p.m. β€” INTERCEPTED! Mond’s pass is complete, but to the wrong team. Chazz Surratt picks it off and sets up the Jets nicely after their second forced turnover of the day.

8:59 p.m. β€” Boyle can’t get anything going either. The punters are getting a workout tonight. Get the ice ready!

8:57 p.m. β€” Tim Boyle has replaced Wilson at quarterback for the Jets as they start making some substitutions on offense.

8:55 p.m. β€” Perhaps the cook was on vacation. Another punt upcoming for Cleveland.

8:54 p.m. β€” The second quarter begins with Mond still in for Cleveland as the Browns offense tries to start cooking something up here.

End of first quarter: Jets 6, Browns 0

8:50 p.m. β€” And just like that, the first quarter is in the books. The Jets lead it 6-0 in Canton.

Jets 6, Browns 0

8:49 p.m. β€” Greg the Leg is good from 44 too, giving the Jets a 6-0 advantage as we near the end of the first quarter.

8:48 p.m. β€” Wilson’s pass is batted down at the line, setting up a 44-yard try for Zuerlein.

8:47 p.m. β€” Already a quick third down for New York as the offense continues to struggle.

8:45 p.m. β€” FUMBLE! The Browns drive begins and quickly ends in disaster. Javelin Guidry forces a fumble and Wilson heads back to work at around the Cleveland 31-yard line.

Jets 3, Browns 0

8:41 p.m. β€” The drive stalls, but Greg Zuerlein knocks through the first points of the season, nailing a 54-yard field goal to break the tie.

8:39 p.m. β€” Wilson does look a little more comfortable under center, though he is playing against backups. Still, a noticeable improvement thus far.

8:38 p.m. β€” BIG PLAY! Wilson uncorks one down the sideline for Malik Taylor, a big gain of 57 yards down the sideline. The Jets flip the field and enter Browns territory.

8:33 p.m. β€” To say these teams look a little rusty would be an understatement. The Jets force fourth down and now the Browns will punt back to New York after another uneventful drive.

8:30 p.m. β€” There are more flags flying in Canton than at the United Nations right now. Last season ended with a penalty and we are picking up right where we left off.

8:25 p.m. β€” New York’s drive ends just as fast as it starts. Wilson slips on third down and forces the Jets to punt.

8:22 p.m. β€” Now it’s Zach Wilson time for the Jets on New York’s opening drive

8:20 p.m. β€” A solid opening drive from the Browns ends with a missed field goal from Cade York, keeping this game knotted at zero.

8:16 p.m. β€” The Jets defense might be in trouble if they have to play backups as Cleveland is moving the ball with ease.

8:12 p.m. β€” With all the festivities in the books, we are ready for football. It’s Cleveland’s ball to start. Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth have the call in the booth.

8:10 p.m. β€” Here’s a glimpse at DeMarcus Ware singing the anthem prior to kickoff. An admirable job from the soon-to-be Hall of Fame inductee, but going slow on the notes is always a recipe for trouble.

8:06 p.m. β€” The final player announced is Browns legendary tackle, Joe Thomas.

8:05 p.m. β€” Here’s a look at the Jets’ Hall of Fame inductees, Joe Klecko and Darrelle Revis, being announced to the crowd on NBC.

8:01 p.m. β€” Before we flip the coin, sing the anthem and kick the ball, we will meet the Hall of Fame class for 2023.

8 p.m. β€” The offseason is officially over. Football is back.

7:50 p.m. β€” As warm-ups are about to wrap up on the field, here’s video of Jets head coach Robert Saleh backing away from an intimidating second-year player Micheal Clemons. A funny exchange between coach and player, but we’d advise the average person not to mess with Clemons β€” who is more than capable of inflicting some damage.

7:45 p.m. β€” We are just 15 minutes away from kickoff of the 2023 NFL preseason. While DeMarcus Ware hasn’t suited up for a game in quite some time, he’s trying something new tonight β€” singing the national anthem.

7:40 p.m. β€” Here’s a list of tonight’s inactive players for the Browns. They are taking no chances, releasing a lengthy list.

7:30 p.m. β€” The Browns honored the late Jim Brown with a celebration of life in Canton ahead of tonight’s game. In his honor, they’ll wear the No. 32 on their helmets. You can watch the ceremony here.

7:20 p.m. β€” Zach Wilson is getting ready to celebrate his 24th birthday by playing in the Hall of Fame Game. Despite a rocky start to his career, the third-year quarterback will try to turn it around under the guide of Rodgers.

7:15 p.m. β€” Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah, like most Jets fans, is excited to see Rodgers making the rounds in Canton.

7:05 p.m. β€” Tonight’s betting odds are courtesy of BetMGM. The Jets are currently favored at -130 on the moneyline and -2 on the spread. The total is set at 33.5 to begin the preseason. Originally the Browns opened as favorites, but money and action has swung in favor of New York β€” shifting the odds. Take a look at Sporting News’ betting preview, if you want to get in on the action.

7:02 p.m. β€” Of course, it wouldn’t be the Jets if we didn’t mention Aaron Rodgers is in the building too. Here’s how he looked for his first game day walk into the stadium as a Jet.

7:01 p.m. β€” As we approach game time, let’s take a look at tonight’s starting quarterbacks. It’ll be Kellen Mond for Cleveland and Zach Wilson for New York.

7 p.m. β€” Pregame coverage is now underway on NBC with the return of “Football Night in America.” That means kickoff is officially one hour away.

6:50 p.m. β€” While most of the attention will be on the field, it wouldn’t be right to ignore the reasons why both teams were selected for tonight’s game. Take a look back at Joe Thomas’ first game as a Brown and some of Darrelle Revis’ highlights from 2009 with the Jets.

6:43 p.m. β€” As the countdown to kickoff continues, let’s take a look at tonight’s venue that is all dressed up and ready for prime time.

Follow along with us as we get you set for kickoff and take you through the final whistle!
