The Cleveland Browns kept their momentum rolling on Sunday, pulling off another thrilling late-game comeback to defeat the Tennessee Titans 27-24 on the road. Orchestrating another game-winning drive in the final minutes, Cleveland's offense finally broke out in a big way, driven by explosive dynamic playmakers and a throwback performance under center.
Here is who powered Cleveland to victory in Week 7, and who failed to show up.
Studs
WR KC Concepcion
Eleven touches, 152 yards from scrimmage- what else is there to say?
The first-round pick looked every bit the elite, dynamic weapon Cleveland envisioned on draft night. Concepcion was virtually unguardable, tearing up Tennessee's defense both downfield and on designed touches out of the backfield.
The only
slight blemish on an otherwise dominant afternoon was a single drop on a pass that would have turned his ludicrous statistical day into one for the franchise record books.
QB Deshaun Watson
For the first time since January of 2021, Watson crossed the 300-yard passing mark. While it came against a struggling opponent, Watson operated with a level of poise, decisiveness, and rhythm that fans and the front office have been desperately waiting to see since his arrival from Houston.
He distributed the ball cleanly, extended plays with his legs when necessary, and executed down the stretch to deliver the game-winning drive.
RB Quinshon Judkins
Skeptics, myself included, have questioned whether Judkins possesses the durability and vision to serve as this team's long-term answer in the backfield. On Sunday, he answered those concerns emphatically.

Returning to form with a punishing 104-yard, two-touchdown performance, Judkins consistently broke initial contact and gave the offense the physical identity it needed to balance out the passing attack.
TE Harold Fannin Jr.
Fannin came through with a complete, dual-threat performance that underscored his growing importance to this offense. Beyond his passing game contributions, his dirty work in the run game proved pivotal, he executed a textbook edge block to seal the perimeter on Quinshon Judkins’ second touchdown drive of the afternoon.

When the game was on the line during the final drive, Fannin delivered the play of the day, hauling in a pass and fighting through contact for a massive gain to flip the field and put Cleveland comfortably within field-goal range.
CB Denzel Ward
The veteran cornerstone put on another masterclass in corner play, providing textbook coverage on the outside all afternoon.

Ward locked down his side of the field and snared the 20th interception of his career, halting a key Tennessee drive and once again demonstrating why he remains one of the secondary's most dependable leaders.
LB Quincy Williams
Since a shaky season opener, Williams has been absolute lights-out, and Week 7 was no exception. He put on a clinic in sideline-to-sideline pursuit, delivering bone-jarring hits and shutting down run lanes before they could open up.
Williams led the defense with seven solo tackles and 10 total stops, continuing his run as an elite free-agent acquisition.
Duds
EDGE Jared Verse
There is very little left to analyze, and even less to look at on the stat sheet. Verse failed to register a single tackle on Sunday, putting together another completely invisible outing off the edge.
As the rest of the defense continues to make game-altering plays, the young pass rusher’s ongoing vanishing act remains a glaring concern.
