The full read
Tyler Shough beat the Browns with his last throw after a day of sacks: 21 of 35 for 265 yards, a touchdown and no interception, sacked five times, plus 10 carries for 51 yards in a 23-22 overtime win out of the bye. Through the air he was worth -2.2 expected points added (EPA), what a play is worth given down, distance and field position; the five sacks alone cost -8.9.
The throw that won it came on the first overtime possession, tied 16-16. Third and 4 at the Cleveland 15, he threw short right to Juwan Johnson for the 15-yard touchdown: +3.0 EPA and 14.8 points of win probability, the estimate of each side's chance to win. His 8-yard scramble on first and 20, after a holding penalty, had kept the drive on schedule. In regulation, down 13-9 with 1:17 left, he went deep left to Chris Olave for 33 yards to the Cleveland 10, and Audric Estimé scored two plays later.
His legs did steady work. All five of his scrambles succeeded, for 50 yards, including 14 on second and 10 in the first quarter and 9 on third and 7 in the third.
Per dropback it was below his season. Through Week 7 he had +5.1 passing EPA on 288 dropbacks, +0.02 each, with 15 sacks in seven games; here it was -0.05 per dropback, and the five sacks were a third of his total before the bye. Four of them came on third down.
