The Browns dropped to 2-7 with the 27-20 defeat, and their playoff chances fell to less than 1% in the process.<\/p>\n<p>But for two players on the Cleveland side, the loss had a little extra sting. That\u2019s because they\u2019ll be writing checks to the league office for violations committed during the game.<\/p>\n<p>Cornerback Myles Harden and defensive lineman Adin Huntington were hit with NFL punishment, the league announced on Saturday, though the fines were relatively mild. Both offenses occurred on the same play, the kickoff to start the second half. Huntington was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness on the play, because of a late hit.<\/p>\n<p>Huntington will pay $4,704 for the hit. Harden was fined $5,487 for, \u201cuse of the helmet,\u201d the league said.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Jets Were Fined Without Penalties vs. Browns<\/h2>\n<p>Two Jets were also fined in the game, including a $22,388 punishment for defensive back Brendan Stephens, who was tabbed for using his helmet on a first-quarter tackle of Jerry Jeudy. The play was not called a penalty on the field, however.<\/p>\n<p>Malachi Moore of the Jets was also fined for using his helmet on a tackle, but his $5,916 payout was less egregious. Moore\u2019s play was also not called a penalty, a fact that perhaps should draw some ire from Browns fans when combined with the Stephens non-call.<\/p>\n<p>But both occurred on the Browns\u2019 second drive of the game, which yielded a touchdown, even without the penalties.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Browns Must \u2018Flush\u2019 Last Week\u2019s Mistakes<\/h2>\n<p>For the Browns, the story of Week 10 was their own mistakes, of course. Not just the special teams failures, but also the mental mistakes, including 10 penalties. The last of those, the neutral-zone infraction on defensive lineman Cam Thomas that cost the Browns the chance at getting the ball, was the most glaring.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas has mostly played well for the Browns. One of the challenges he faces, and the team in general, is to \u201cflush\u201d the mistakes made in Week 10 and move on.<\/p>\n<p>That was the message from defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz this week:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve made mistakes in games where you do something, make a bad call or something like that, it\u2019s not as evident as that. You know, I mean, I think that if you look across that game, I\u2019m sure dozens of people on both sides made mistakes and plays that they\u2019re not proud of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing is, when you make it in that situation, it\u2019s magnified, and that\u2019s the spotlight that players live under, that\u2019s the spotlight coaches live under. I think you have to learn from it, you have to flush it, and you have to be able to move on. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Browns defenders Myles Harden and Adin Huntington were fined by the NFL for their actions in Week 10 against the Jets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cleveland-browns"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
