Browns Secure 10th Win, Cooper Sets Franchise Record

Strong performances by Flacco and Cooper put Browns in prime position for postseason, despite kicker Hopkins' injury.

The Cleveland Browns secured their 10th win of the season against the Houston Texans, with a final score of 36-22, putting them in a strong position for the postseason.
Browns' quarterback Joe Flacco and wide receiver Amari Cooper demonstrated a strong connection, with Cooper setting a new franchise receiving record of 265 yards and two touchdowns.
The Browns' defense showed a marked improvement, recording three sacks and two takeaways, and holding the Texans to 178 passing yards and 250 total yards.
Browns' kicker Dustin Hopkins suffered a hamstring injury, leaving the team without a viable Plan B at the position.
The trade for Amari Cooper from the Dallas Cowboys last season continues to pay dividends for the Browns, with Cooper becoming the first player in Browns history to record back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.
