Hall of Fame Game, New York Jets 16 vs 21 Cleveland Browns summary stats, and highlights
The Cleveland Browns topped the New York Jets in the Hall of Fame Game from Canton, Ohio on Thursday night as football returned after five long months. Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson
The Cleveland Browns topped the New York Jets in the Hall of Fame Game from Canton, Ohio on Thursday night as football returned after five long months. Rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson stole the show in the second half, spurring a second half comeback, going 8/11 for 82 yards and a TD in the 21-16 win at Tom Benson Stadium.
There was no Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson as most of the stars from both teams watched the game in street clothes, but that was a small price to pay knowing that the NFL is back in our lives.
With no Rodgers, the Jets went to former starting QB to begin the game and Zach Wilson had the throw of the night in the first quarter when he hit Malik Taylor on a 57 yard dime down the sideline that led to the opening field goal of the game. Wilson played most of the first quarter going 3/5 for 65 yards.
The Jets defense was one of the best units in the league last year, and they put on a show in the first half forcing a fumble and an interception that led to one of Greg Zuerlein’s three field goals of the night and a 10 yard touchdown from Isreal Abanikanda.
Cleveland’s offense finally came to life late in the first half when QB Kellen Mond and RB John Kelly Jr. drove down the field and put the Browns on the score board with a three yard TD pass to Kelly with under a minute to go in the second quarter.
The highlight of the second half was the Brown’s rookie QB out of UCLA, Dorian Thompson-Robinson who drove his team down the field on the opening drive of the second half, with a couple brilliant throws and a beautiful block to spring Demetric Felton on a 16 yard TD run to cut the lead to 16-14.
The players weren’t the only ones in preseason mode, the lights at Tom Benson Stadium cut out between the third and fourth quarter delaying the game for about 15 minutes.
The lights turned back on and so did Thompson-Robinson who continued to impress with a 9 play 78 yard drive that ended with a perfect pass to Austin Watkins Jr. for a 22 yard TD to take the 21-16 lead early in the fourth.
That would be enough to give the Browns as the defense held off Chris Streveler and the Jets offense to secure the win at the Hall of Fame Game as the festivities are just getting under way in Canton.
Bubba Bolden called game with this pick to give the Browns the win in their own back yard.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson had himself a night, going 8/11 for 82 yards and throwing what would be the game winning touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Mond got the Browns offense into a groove on the final possession of the first half, as he and John Kelly Jr. connected on a 3 yard TD pass for Cleveland's first points.
Isreal Abanikanda beat everyone to the pylon to put the Jets up 13-0 late in the first half.
Just a few minutes later Chazz Surratt picked off Kellen Mond which put the Jets in great field position for the first TD of the night.
The Jets defense was ferocious last year, and in the first half of the opening preseason game they came out hunting. They forced two turnovers which led to 10 points on the other end.
Zach Wilson got the start tonight as Aaron Rodgers watched from the sidelines and dropped this beautiful pass into the hands of Malik Taylor for a 57 yard strike on the play of the night.

WE ARE UNDERWAY FROM CANTON AND THE 2023 NFL PRESEASON HAS KICKED OFF!!!
The Jets kick off to the Browns who will start their drive at the 25 after a touchback.
Hall of Fame inductee Demarcus Ware is singing the National Anthem before the game. Not terrible, but a little pitchy at times. The rock and roll Hall of Fame won't come knocking anytime soon, but don't tell this Hall of Fame defensive end I said that.
The people in Canton probably don’t want us sharing this stat, but in the over 60 year history of the Hall of Fame Game, no team that has participated in the exhibition game has gone on to win the Super Bowl. There have been three teams who make it to Super Bowl Sunday, but no team has ever started their season in Canton and ended the season lifting the Lombardi Trophy.
The Browns didn’t have to travel too far for their opening preseason game. It’s less than an hours drive from their training camp base in White Sulphur Springs, Ohio. You can bet they will have the home field advantage at Tom Benson Stadium tonight as Cleveland gets ready for their sixth Hall of Fame Game. They are 2-3 in their five previous games in Canton. The Browns are listed as the home team, despite this being a neutral site game, and every time the Browns have come into this game as the home team they have treated their fans with a win.
The focus tonight will be centered around the second and third string guys tonight and even more so the guys who are flirting with making a roster spot. Rodgers won’t be suited up tonight, neither will a handful of other stars and while Jets fans are itching to see Rogers and this new look offense, the rest of us are just happy to have football back in our lives.
Nathaniel Hackett has been freed of the nightmare in Denver. Well, he may have been let go, but the former Broncos coach was looking to put last year in the rear view, but new Denver coach Sean Payton opened up some old wounds with his comments about the Hackett regime in the Mile High City. Tonight Hackett has a chance to escape some of those statements and focus on football. He is debuting as the Jets’ offensive coordinator tonight and we will get our first look at this new look offense in New York.
One Quarterback we are bound to see tonight is Zach Wilson. We may not see too much of him, but after a turbulent last season he is looking to make amends with teammates and fans. The former BYU QB has battled through injuries in the first two years of his NFL career, but injuries you can overcome. Losing the locker room as the starting quarterback is a little harder to recover from. Last year Wilson had some interesting postgame comments in the Jets’ 10-3 loss to the Patriots in New England.
It’s much too early to expect Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson to be under center tonight. At this stage of the preseason only the QBs whose jobs aren’t as certain as the Jets and the Browns signal callers will be playing in these stages of the preseason. We are certain to see both Watson and Rodgers later on in the preseason, but tonight is not the night. After all, both Cleveland and New York will play one more game than the rest of the league because of their involvement in Hall of Fame weekend.
The Browns started their season without what is likely to become their franchise quarterback after signing him last offseason. Jacoby Brissett filled in for the former Texans gunslinger, but by the time Deshaun Watson was reinstated after a long suspension, the Browns were essentially out of the playoff hunt. This year things are looking up as Kevin Stefanski will have his QB1 under center from Week 1, and will be hoping that the running game looks just as impressive as it has over the last three years.
There was plenty of promise surrounding the New York Jets through the first seven weeks of the season. Robert Saleh’s team sat at 5-2 and things were going unusually smooth for the green part of New York. The fall would come. Starting quarterback Zach Wilson was battling injuries, and would eventually lose a large chunk of the locker room with some postgame statements that didn’t sit well with many of his teammates. The Jets went through a handful of quarterbacks and still had a chance to make the playoffs late in the season, but fell short. This year their expectations are much higher.
Hello everyone and welcome to Tom Benson Field where the festivities are just getting started. A weekend full of football awaits us as Hall of Fame weekend begins tonight with a couple of classic NFL teams lining up to commence the football season. Later this week the enshrinement for the Hall of Fame Class of 2023 will be commemorated to bring a close to a much anticipated weekend on football’s holy ground.
The wait is finally over. Take a breathe. Sit back and enjoy the next three hours, the next twenty some odd days, and the next seven months of football. The NFL is back and as always we are kicking off the preseason from Canton, Ohio with the Hall of Fame Game as the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns start us off with the first of 49 preseason games to come over the month of August. AS English will be with you all night long providing live coverage, stats, scores and highlights of tonight’s game from Tom Benson Field.
