BROWNS' JARVIS LANDRY LAUNCHES TOUCHDOWN PASS TO ODELL BECKHAM JR. VS. COWBOYS
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Beckham looked to have been gobbled up for a loss before he blew by a defender behind the line of scrimmage and then threw the Swiss cheese Dallas defense for the score.
It was the wide receiver’s third touchdown of the game.
Beckham caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Jarvis Landry to start the game. He then had a 4-yard touchdown pass from Baker Mayfield in the second quarter. He finished with five catches for 81 yards and had 73 rushing yards.

It wasn’t for lack of trying on the Cowboys’ part. The team was down 31-14 at half time and were scoreless in the third quarter. Dallas put up 24 points on Cleveland in the fourth quarter and may have had a chance to tie the game if it weren’t for the Beckham touchdown dagger.
