Cleveland's defense has been historic on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals . It is always a nerve-wracking day for a rookie to get his first start but to do it against one of the NFL's best defenses is a tall, tall mountain to climb for rookie Clayton Tune.
In a game where both offenses struggled to find any rhythm, the Browns led 13-0 and just punted the ball back to the Cardinals early in the third quarter. While Arizona had not been able to do anything all day, they were one play away from pulling within a score of the Browns.
Clayton Tune brought the Cardinals out to their own 25-yard line hoping for any kind of positivity on offense. Arizona dialed up a long-developing, play-action play that was going to take some time to develop.
As the receivers took off down the field, Browns' defensive tackle Shelby Harris had different plans for Tune and the Cardinals.
He fought the block of Ethan Froedholt and was able to get around him. Tune loaded up to shoot one down the field simultaneously, Harris reached out his hand and got a piece of the football.
The ball popped up into the air and fell into the waiting arms of Myles Garrett to create yet another turnover. If it wasn't for a Cardinal being in the way, Garrett would have had a walk-in score.
It all worked out for Cleveland as three plays later, quarterback Deshaun Watson recognized a 3rd down blitz and found tight end David Njoku in the end zone for six.
