Joe Burrow tried to come up with some 4th-and-long magic in the fourth quarter against the Cleveland Browns Sunday, but the Bengals failed to convert.
Myles Garrett broke through the Bengals’ offensive line and busted up the play, sacking Burrow in a key moment of the game.
A couple of plays later, Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson threw a touchdown pass to Harrison Bryant to put Cleveland up 24-3 with nearly 9 minutes left in the game. Burrow was later removed from the game.

After the Bengals finally got on the board with an Evan McPherson field goal, the Browns responded with the Hopkins field goal. Hopkins made one more in the fourth quarter, and Cleveland followed it up with the 3-yard touchdown pass from Watson to Bryant.
