Browns fans will love Quinshon Judkins’ passionate words about playing in Cleveland
The Browns got things headed back in the right direction in Week 7 in a blowout over the Dolphins behind a three-touchdown performance for rookie Quinshon Judkins. It wasn't always easy sledding since the elements forced the game to be ultra run-heavy, but Judkins was able to muster most of the offense himself, including a game-changing 46-yard touchdown rush.
As a national champion with the Buckeyes last year, there are a handful of Cleveland fans who already had a love for Judkins. After his strong start to his career and the infectious energy he brings, most Browns fans are all in on the young back.
Quinson Judkins shows his love to Cleveland following three TD performance
During the fourth annual Browns Give Back Halloween Fashion Show, Judkins expressed his love for the city and his desire to accomplish great things with this organization while dressed as Fred Flintstone. He talked about what it has meant to continue playing football in Ohio after a tremendous year with Ohio State.
Cleveland is home. I played at Ohio State. Ohio is all I know, man. I wanna die playing football here in Cleveland and give 'em everything I got. Quinshon Judkins
Although it was difficult for many to come to terms with the team not retaining franchise legend Nick Chubb, Judkins has been a breath of fresh air and has been able to show some of the same flashes in his young career so far. Both on the field and on the sidelines, Judkins seems like the perfect building block to rejuvenate Cleveland Browns football going forward.
If there's one thing fans love more than someone who can dominate on the field, it's someone who excels on the field and embraces them off it. More dominant performances and involvement in the community will lead to number 10 jerseys showing up increasingly in the short term at Huntington Bank Field.
Browns’ Jerry Jeudy stirs the pot with savage shot towards Ravens
Fresh off a narrow 17-16 Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Cleveland Browns will look to right the ship against another division rival this coming Sunday. Week 2 will bring a trip to Baltimore to play the Ravens. As the team prepares to attempt to capture their first win of 2025 in Baltimore, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy spoke with the press after practice on Wednesday. ESPN's David Oyefusi asked Jeudy about the Ravens' secondary, then shared the veteran's taunt via X (formerly Twitter).
“Question to Browns WR Jerry Jeudy: What challenges do the Ravens secondary present?” Oyefusi posted on Wednesday. “Jeudy: ‘No challenges.'”
Jeudy's taunt is certainly a bold one. The Ravens' secondary is loaded with veteran talent. Although they might not have had their best performance this past Sunday night in Buffalo, there's a reason why Bills quarterback Josh Allen won the MVP last year. It's safe to say he's good at picking apart defenses. Will Browns starter Joe Flacco have similar success on Sunday? Or will Jeudy's take on Baltimore's secondary fall flat?
The Browns look to capture first win of the season over the Ravens
The Ravens had their own narrow defeat in Week 1, as Allen and the Bills stormed back in the fourth quarter to win 41-40. Both teams will be looking to capture their first win of 2025 on Sunday. While Baltimore will be favored, it's probably safe to say that the Browns will at least put up a fight. Head coach Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry could lose their jobs if this season doesn't go well. A win in the Ravens' home stadium will certainly help their case.
Furthermore, Flacco has unfinished business with the franchise that drafted him. Although his tenure ended once Jackson took over the lead role, the veteran was the Ravens' starter when they won their lone Super Bowl under head coach Jim Harbaugh. Flacco feels at home in Stefanski's system. His targets, led by Jeudy and Cedric Tillman, do as well. Will Jeudy, Flacco, and the rest of the Browns offense engineer an upset at M&T Bank Stadium Sunday afternoon?
