The Cleveland Browns defense had trouble containing the Oakland Raiders offense last Sunday during a 45-42 overtime loss.Oakland quarterback Derek Carr passed for more than 400 yards http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authe...mitchell-jersey , running back Marshawn Lynch had more than 100 rushing yards, and wide Amari Cooper and tight end Jared Cook each surpassed 100 receiving yards. But it turns out that the Browns were also battling the referees. The NFL has admitted that the officials messed up in the fourth quarter when referee Walt Anderson blew his whistle too early when Myles Garrett and Genard Avery hit Carr, forcing a fumble that Garrett recovered. Instead of the Browns having the ball with a little more than six minutes left in the game, Anderson called the play a sack and the Raiders punted on the next play.Everyone watching the play - other than Anderson - knew it should have been a fumble recovery for the Browns, and NFL senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron admitted as much on Friday Genard Avery Jersey , according to an ESPN story:The Browns came out on the short end of another call later in the game when a dubious replay review overturned what would have been a game-clinching first down by running back Carlos Hyde. It is also the second time this season that Garrett has been involved in a blown call by the refs as the league admitted that a roughing the passer call on Garrett in Week 1 was the wrong call.The Browns have enough trouble trying to win a game when they only have to beat the opposing team. Hopefully this week they won’t have to worry about beating the referees as well as the Baltimore Ravens. The Cleveland Browns traded wide receiver Josh Gordon to the New England Patriots on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. The Patriots will also receive a conditional seventh-round selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.The Browns announced the move on the team website. Thus ends one of the strangest tenures of a Browns player in franchise history.Cleveland selected Gordon in the 2012 Supplemental Draft after a troubled collegiate career that saw him be asked to leave from both Baylor and Utah. After a respectable rookie year, Gordon was hit with a two-game suspension by the NFL to open the 2013 season. He came back to post his lone good season as a pro, but what a season it was as he led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards. It all went downhill from there, however Authentic Seth DeValve Jersey , as Gordon continued to run afoul of the league’s substance-abuse policy as he was suspended for 11 games in 2014, all of the 2015 and 2016 seasons, and the first 11 games of last season.Along the way there were numerous exclamations that Gordon was “back,” only for fans and the Browns to see Gordon’s career repeatedly interrupted. Gordon took a leave of absence from the team this past summer during training camp and returned in time to start the season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he caught a touchdown pass on his only reception of the day.The Browns finally reached their breaking point with Gordon over the weekend when he showed up at team headquarters with a hamstring issue. The Browns made him inactive for Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints Youth Trevon Coley Jersey , announced they planned to release him and then worked out the trade with the Patriots.There are some Browns fans who will lament that the Browns decided to finally move on from Gordon, but it is hard to miss a player who has only been eligible for 41 of a possible 96 games in his career and has posted just 43 receptions and two touchdowns since 2013.The Browns, more than anyone else in the NFL, know what is going on with Gordon’s personal life and finally decided that six years was more than enough to wait around for him to show that 2013 was not just a fluke season.The team also supported Gordon to an extent that the NFL has likely never seen, as head coach Hue Jackson commented on when the trade was announced:Truer words may never have been spoken in the history of the NFL.
