The Cleveland Browns run game is cooking now. After backup running back Jaleel McLaughlin scored Cleveland’s first touchdown of their Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, starter Quinshon Judkins had a touchdown of his own to give the Browns their first lead of the night.
Judkins’ touchdown was set up by rookie receiver Denzel Boston’s 60-yard catch on a blown coverage by the Steelers secondary. It was his first touchdown of the season and gave Cleveland the 14-7 lead with about half of the first half left.
Here is a look at the touchdown, courtesy of the NFL’s official social media:

Pittsburgh was looking to respond after
their last two drives ended in an interception and a three-and-out. However, their drive ended in a missed 48-yard field goal from kicker Chris Boswell to keep the score 14-7 with the Browns on top. They have now gone three consecutive drives without scoring any points. That was also Boswell's first miss of the season on a kick under 50 yards.
